Lady Diana Cooper was a star of the early twentieth stage, screen and
social scene. This first instalment of her sparkling autobiography tells
of her upbringing, her beautiful artistic mother and aristocratic
father, her debut into high society and the glittering parties -
'dancing and extravagance and lashing of wine, and charades and moonlit
balconies and kisses' - which were interrupted with the outbreak of the
First World War. This volume ends with Diana's marriage to the 'love of
her life', diplomat and politician Duff Cooper.
