 Frances Osborne's racy high society read The Bolter just gave me a very absorbing beach blanket weekend. For those who have a weakness for high gossip wrapped in shrewd social history it is irresistible stuff. Set in pre-WW II London and amid the wild salons of ex-pat Africa, it's a page-turning tale of the decadent, five times married, aristo-heartbreaker Lady Idina Sackville, who bathed in a green onyx tub filled with champagne and invited her 'Happy Valley' house guests to watch as she rose and dressed for dinner. The author's authentic eye should come as no surprise...she is Lady Idina's great grand-daughter. |

Hope it's more fun than White Mischief (the book, not the movie). That one dwelled at such excruciating length on the murder of Lord Erroll that I couldn't even finish it.

The movie White Mischief is a wonderful depiction of those times...lots of dressing up as the opposite sex and whitty bon mots and love gone terribly terribly wrong...
Thank you.
