valouriousknight 's review for:
Lady in Waiting: My Extraordinary Life in the Shadow of the Crown
by Anne Glenconner
An interesting but mind boggling read
This is a very interesting book, which describes a life that , as a working class queer man, I find absolutely mind boggling. Lady Glenconners life has certainly been one of wild adventure and astonishing privilege, but interspersed with absolute tragedy and what sounds like some horrifying domestic violence, though I'm not sure she sees it as that. Either way, this was an interesting biography, and if you're looking for a reasonable read and a view into aristocratic life over the 20th Century, its worth a look.
