OverviewA ""NEW YORK TIMES"" NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEARPraise for ""Mrs. Keppel and Her Daughters"": ""Fascinating...and richly textured...Souhami's style [is] vital, brave and full of flair"". -- ""The New York Times Book Review"" ""Vivid and fast-paced, Souhami's story is wonderful--a must for those caught up in the drama now playing itself out among the descendants of King Edward and his Machiavellian mistress"". -- ""People"" ""Lavishly illustrated, pungent with luxurious detail and hardheaded investigation, this is popular history to relish"". -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""An electrifying study of Mrs. Keppel--famously King Edward VII's mistress--and of her daughter Violet Trefusis--notoriously Vita Sackville-West's lover.... This dark and Gothic tale of passion and cruelty, of an indomitable mother and a frail daughter, is the more shocking for its imperturbable, elegant settings--Biarritz, London drawing rooms, Florentine villas, and English country houses"". -- ""Daily Telegraph"" (London) Full Product DetailsAuthor: Diana SouhamiPublisher: St. Martin's Press Imprint: St. Martin's Press Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 1.70cm , Length: 21.50cm Weight: 0.358kg ISBN: 9780312300098ISBN 10: 0312300093 Pages: 256 Publication Date: 01 March 1998 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Out of print, replaced by POD ![]() We will order this item for you from a manufatured on demand supplier.
