Mrs Keppel And Her Daughter

The Story

A '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)
