Praise for MRS KEPPEL AND HER DAUGHTER

“Detailed and fascinating … a rich, engrossing study of a mother and daughter who both flirted with scandal.”

—Chicago Tribune

“Souhami writes about [Violet Trefusis] with refreshing enthusiasm.”

—The London Sunday Times

“… a must for anyone interested in the remarkable sexual license which Edwardian couples afforded themselves.”

—Daily Telegraph (London)

“Souhami is an entertaining writer, with a fluent, almost hypnotic prose style … her book is well worth reading.”

—Royalty Digest (London)

“A wildly entertaining portrait of scandal and society from Victorian times to the 1970s.”

—Literary Review (London)

“Souhami has a Midas touch with words. Her narrative sparkles.”

—Nigel Nicolson, Sunday Telegraph (London)

Praise for GERTRUDE AND ALICE

“A brilliant and witty chronicle of one of the happiest marriages in modern literary history. Not only star-studded but light-filled.”

—John Richardson, author of The Life of Picasso
