She and her husband, Frank Pakenham, became Catholics in the 1940's. They had eight children--six before she became a Catholic. Their oldest child is Antonia Fraser, whose book on Mary Queen of Scots I read in March of 1970 and their second child is Thomas Pakenham, whose excellent The Boer War I read in September of 1982. I found these Memoirs fun to read--she knows everybody in Britain and her book drips with name-dropping: pleasantly so. I could do worse than read other books by her. Her first, Jameson's Raid, used to be in our local library, but it is not there any more. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Elizabeth Longford, author and biographer, only began her writing career in her 50's. These memoirs cover the first 60 years of her eventful life, ending in 1969 with her biography "Wellington: The Years of the Sword", winning the "Yorkshire Post" literary prize, and the tragic death of her daughter Catherine.
