Review:
"I guarantee that like Harold Nicolson, who was reading Family History on the train between Staplehurst and Charing Cross, most readers will “weep copiously”" (Victoria Glendinning)
"Glamorous aristocrat, complete with ancient name, Spanish Gypsy blood, lost inheritance and family scandals; reckless, romantic lesbian and cross-dresser; devoted wife to a noted diplomat and diarist; mother of two talented sons; bestselling writer, gardener of genius - what could be more enthralling?" (Hermione Lee Guardian)
"Tears, tantrum, age gap... utterly addictive. Tissues ahoy." (Daily Mail)
