Recensione:

“[An] absorbing and well written biography . . . too heady to resist.” (Sunday Times (London))

“Penetrating...a brilliant evocation of the British aristocracy at its high water mark, and a rich read, at once informative, diverting and amusing.” (Richmond Times-Dispatch)

“de Courcy is a keen and experienced topographer of the landscape of upper class Britain in the 1920’s and 30’s.” (New York Times Book Review)

“Irresistable...this intimate family portrait is chock full of tantalizing glamour and gossip.” (Booklist)

“Their antics make the present crop of royals and members of Parliament look positively staid.” (Publishers Weekly)
