Publisher's Summary
The sisters saw British fascism from behind the scenes and had an equally intimate view of the arrival of Wallis Simpson and the marriage and life of the Windsors. Based on unpublished letters and diaries, this is a wonderfully revealing portrait of British upper-class life during the first half of the 20th century.

"TheNarration"
The narration of this audiobook may sound; at first, quite good, however it doesn't sound right when the narrator uses the letter 'f' instead of 'th' e.g.. HH Askwith is read as 'Askwif' and 'Mary's death...' as 'Mary's def'.... I think it is awful, also 'Weather...' is recorded as 'Wefer'.. Please listen intently, this is not a criticism of the Narrator, but the audio production - very poor.

"A fascinating vantage point"
The lives of Curzon's daughters, examined not only through events but through diaries, letters and other personal exchanges, gives a fascinating vantage point on the first half of the 20th century, from life in 'society' to the rise of British facism, the abdication of Edward VIII and the Second World War.
The narrator reads clearly, with good pace and expression, and her voice is right for the book.
This book proved very enjoyable in every sense, far more so than I had expected.1 of 2 people found this review helpful
