Riassunto

Veronica MacLean was born in the 1920s in the Scottish Highlands to the illustrious Fraser family and married the diplomat and politician Sir Fitzroy Maclean. Past Forgetting is the story of her life played out against the dramatic social, political, and diplomatic history of the 20th century. From her acquaintance with the Kennedys, Bushes, and the Astors to her friendships with Belloc, John Singer Sargent, and Freya Stark, the autobiography also charts her journeys overland to China, Persia, and Yugoslavia, her lecture tours in America, and her medical mission to the Balkans in the late 1990s.
