The third volume of Diana Cooper's witty, gossipy and brilliant autobiography - the perfect evocation of glittering high society in the aftermath of the Second World War
Lady Diana Cooper was born on 29 August 1892. She married Alfred Duff Cooper, DSO., who became one of the Second Word War's key politicians. Her startling beauty resulted in her playing the lead in two silent films and then Max Reinhardt's The Miracle. In 1944, following the Liberation of Paris, the couple moved into the British Embassy, Paris. They then retired to a house at Chantilly just outside Paris. After Duff's death in 1954 Diana remained there till 1960, when she moved back to London. She died in 1986.

wowing audiences on both sides of the Atlantic

during the frivolous Twenties and Thirties, Lady Diana was one of
the last survivors of the set which revolved around the Prince of
Wales and Mrs Simpson
*The Times*
One of the glittering social personalities of an era of wealth and
privilege, combining as she did exceptional grace and beauty with
verve and a nature of deep and intense feeling
