Changes

That omission apart, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Souhami has brought the personalities to life as well as the atmosphere of the 1920s when Britain was evidently a much more repressive country than France and America. The years of the Second World War and the privations these relatively wealthy women had to ensure are also vividly portrayed. Shortlisted for the James Tait Black Prize for Biography after its first publication in 1998, this is a relatively long and often sombre volume, but a very good read.
