Summary
A lavish, star-studded adaptation of Edith Wharton's final novel set in the early 1870s. Seen through the eyes of a family governess, four ambitious American girls secure husbands and position in England in order to live happily ever after. But life bears little resemblance to the fairytales; and castles appear a lot less magical when you have to live in them. They soon find themselves trapped by the trappings of wealth, and discover that beneath fine manners and social graces lie some very shabby vices
