Descripción del producto
Biografía del autor
Lady Glenconner is now 88. She was born Lady Anne Coke in 1932, the eldest daughter of the 5th Earl of Leicester, and growing up in their ancestral estate at Holkham Hall in Norfolk. A Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation, she married Lord Glenconner in 1956. They had 5 children together of whom 3 survive. In 1958 she and her husband began to transform the island of Mustique into a paradise for the rich and famous. They granted a plot of land to Princess Margaret who built her favourite home there. She was appointed Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret in 1971 and kept this role - accompanying her on many state occasions and foreign tours - until her death in 2002. Lord Glenconner died in 2010, leaving everything in his will to his former employee. She now lives in a farmhouse near Kings Lynn in Norfolk.

As the title says - ‘extraordinary!
Revisado en Reino Unido el 21 de octubre de 2019Compra verificada
This is an ‘extraordinary’ book about an ‘extraordinary’ lady! I loved it! It has got everything one might encounter in life, from the extreme pathos of the fate of her three oldest children (I encounter her son Christopher, from time to time, in the fabulous settings of the Palladian delight that is Holkham Hall - what a lovely, brave man to have emerged from his tragic accident in Central America!), to the extreme hedonism of her and her husband’s (the ‘mercurial Colin) lives in Mustique and St Lucia, and, of course, the circuit of the ‘rich and famous’. What I thought was particulate fascinating was Lady Anne’s lasting relationship with the Royals , and particularly Princess Margaret. I think you certainly see Princess Margaret in a different light. Fascinating! And what endurance and Stoicism Lady Anne demonstrated throughout her long life! It is certainly a life much removed from we ordinary mortals! Well done!

Terribly, terribly sad
Revisado en Reino Unido el 23 de noviembre de 2019Compra verificada
This is an incredibly gossipy, snobbish book about a ,thankfully, bygone age. Anyone carried away by the apparently charmed halls of Downton Abbey would do well to read this as an antidote. The ghastly dysfunctional life of people who honestly have everything makes dispiriting reading. Having been brought.up in these circles I'm only too aware of how the ridiculous constraints, mores, and manners of the times were. Two families joined to huge wealth and privilege managed to create a nightmare while wedded to the "stiff upper lip" and keeping up appearances which prevented them taking the proper steps to avoid tragedy. Bravo for attempting this task, Lady Glenconner, but honestly..

Poignantly Beautiful Book
Revisado en Reino Unido el 27 de octubre de 2019Compra verificada
I’ve just finished the last page of this beautifully written book and the tears are flowing. I’ve never left a review before but had to for this book. It’s written from the heart expressing a tumultuous life. Many up’s and many downs but with an ‘upbeat’ thread running through it. If you haven’t been to Holkham Hall, go, you won’t regret it. The marble entrance hall is so amazing it takes your breath away. I would 100% recommend this book

Unputdownable!

“My Extraordinary Life” must be the under- statement of 2019.
What an incredible woman with an equally incredible tale to tell.
Told in the matter of fact manner of someone to whom these unusual experiences were a way of life. One of these happenings in a lifetime would be enough for most people.
Why bother with ludicrous, badly written soap operas when you can read the real thing!
I am really sorry I finished it so quickly.

I could not put it down
Revisado en Reino Unido el 26 de octubre de 2019Compra verificada
Littered throughout this story of truly extraordinary events are an amazing number of insights into life and lessons for enduring difficulty. Lady Glenconner is a remarkable woman, not so much for her experiences, so many of which are so unusual, but for for her happy outlook, her warmth and her strength. I have never met her, but having read this wonderful book, she must be a person with a great sense of fun and she clearly has huge love for her friends and family. My only wish is that this book were longer; I hope she writes another.
