Synopsis

About this title

Review:

"I defy anyone not to be interested in this book...convincing and compelling. De Courcy's book takes the ruthless moon goddess of 20th-century myth and turns her into a human being, and that is more than many biographies would have done" (Independent on Sunday)

"Moseley undoubtedly led a fascinating - if frequently unsavoury - life. This gripping biography tells her unique story" (Red)

"Anne de Courcy has a riveting tale to tell and she does it with an ergomatic deftness that is enviable. Bold lady; compelling book" (Literary Review)

Book Description:

A fascinating and controversial life of the 'Mitford girl' who ran away with the British fascist leader Oswald Mosley, and was a close friend of Adolf Hitler.
