Ettie: The Intimate Life and Dauntless Spirit of Lady Desborough
"Stirring history of . . . a woman of sophistication and beauty seemingly blighted with bad luck. The picture of English aristocratic determination, she remains uncowed to the end."  —Vogue UK "As Richard Davenport-Hines demonstrates triumphantly in this superb biography, Ettie Desborough's life is a compelling and moving story of love and loss as well as an important slice of social history, and deserves to be widely read . . . a joy to read, sparkling and fresh and full of good things. A real delight."  —Literary Review
