Very Good Condition - Clean covers with only light edge rubbing. Retailer sticker on front cover.

Anne Glenconner recounts a life closely connected with the British royal family, from her aristocratic childhood to serving as a maid of honour at the Queen's coronation and later as lady-in-waiting to Princess Margaret. Her marriage to Colin Tennant brought her into the creation of Mustique as a celebrated private retreat, but the glamorous gatherings were accompanied by a deeply difficult domestic life. She also writes about the devastating losses and challenges faced by her children. Moving between privilege, friendship, travel and personal tragedy, this memoir offers an intimate account of endurance, told by a woman who witnessed extraordinary occasions while coping with very private hardships.
