Lady Diana Cooper had been famous from her earliest youth, the subject
of gossip and adoration as the queen of the "Coterie," an exclusive high
society set. Her marriage to Duff Cooper, a rising political star, and
her career on the stage and in early silent films only increased her
notoriety. Her second volume of autobiography chronicles these years in
the run-up to World War II, and her adventures as an unconventional
hostess, actress, wife and mother are told in typically fast-paced,
witty and brilliant style.
