Editorial reviews

In Old Money, Nelson Aldrich presents an insider's account of what it means to be born into one of America's wealthiest families. His account of his family's history shows the good, bad, and the ugly of being in society's upper crust. Robin Bloodworth gives a strong performance with his easy pacing and blue-blood diction. He heightens the audiobook's elegant and thoughtful tone. Overall, Aldrich's story is absolutely fascinating and important for anyone who has thought about what it means to be rich in America.
