Fantastic For Anyone With An Interest In History

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

I thought this was great. The description of her childhood was enchanting. (Sleigh rides into town in winter because there were no cars yet.) Born in the 1890s many of the boys she knew died in WW I. Cover of Time in 1926. Husband Lord Of the Admiralty two terms before Churchill. Lots of very erudite letters. The description of preparations for WW II will blow you away. Planting vegetable gardens. Taking down all the street and road signs to confuse the invaders who never came. Taking the distributor cap out of your car so invaders couldn't use it. Living in France after the war. I loved it and it's hard to believe she is not a professional writer. The descriptions of ordinary things are mesmerizing.

A peek at a princess in a troubled time

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 20, 2008

Verified Purchase

Regarded as "the greatest beauty of her age," for Americans this book is a peek at English nobility in hard times, after England had lost so many of its promising young in World War I. It is a well-written account of that time between the wars from a celebrity under fire. My interest in Diana Cooper was her experience at Oxford at the time the Russian Prince Felix Yusupov was there, not too long before he returned to Russia and murdered Rasputin. Her accounts of the Prince's antics there, and her later meetings, along with husband Duff Cooper, with the Prince Felix and his wife and the famous Rembrandts is a chapter in my book, "The Lady with an Ostrich Feather Fan." An exciting read.

and thus is a wonderful story, both of their lives together

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 7, 2014

Verified Purchase

Everything about this woman, Lady Diana Cooper, is uplifting and very amusing. She was at the centre of world events for the most interesting and action-packed years of the 20th Century, from her youth during the First World War, when every man she had ever danced with, except one, was killed on the battlefields. The sole survivor of her group was Duff Cooper, an equally fascinating personality whom she married after the war, and thus is a wonderful story, both of their lives together, the birth of their only son, John Julius, now Lord Norwich, a famous man in his own right, and the life they lived as the Ambassador and his wife in the British Embassy in Paris in the years immediately after the Second World War.
Any book about Diana Cooper is interesting, and I loved this one, as it is her official autobiography.
