Description

Lady Diana Cooper was a star of the early twentieth stage, screen and social scene. This first instalment of her sparkling autobiography tells of her upbringing, her beautiful artistic mother and aristocratic father, her debut into high society and the glittering parties – ‘dancing and extravagance and lashing of wine, and charades and moonlit balconies and kisses’ – which were interrupted with the outbreak of the First World War. This volume ends with Diana’s marriage to the ‘love of her life’, diplomat and politician Duff Cooper.

About The Author

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 in 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.
Review Quote

A delightful memoir
Other text

Poetic, idiosyncratic, poignant, funny, unflagging, scintillating, simple, stylish; not the book of the season, or of the bedside table; a book…to be read and reread and loved for a lifetime.
