Review
Praise for Daughters of Britannia:
‘This is a delightful and exceptionally well-written book, funny, lively and warm-hearted.’
Philip Ziegler, Daily Telegraph
‘This is a lovely book: affectionate, celebratory and as conscious of the glory as the hardship. These women lived; they saw dolphins in the Bosphorous at dawn, took tea with empresses, watched eclipses in Turkistan. And they were so lonely that they wrote it all down.’
Libby Purves, Sunday Times
