2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5What a life and like all lives, rich or poor there is some good and some bad. Family wealth and privilege is what obviously set this story apart.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Fabulous book. Brilliantly written. Amazing account of the writers, strange to most, upbringing. Hilarious descriptions of the English upper class in a bygone era. Funny and sad at times. Completely honest. I think the writer must be a lovely person. Highly recommend this book
