Beschreibung
An English aristocrat's WWII letters "e;illuminate British history . . . [and] offer an indelible portrait of an extraordinary woman and her vanished world."e;(Kirkus Reviews)Aristocrat, socialite, actress and wife of Duff Cooper, Churchill's wartime Minister for Information, later Ambassador to France and Viscount Norwich, Diana Cooper was also an inveterate letter-writer. Gathered here, her missives to her only son John Julius Norwich during the Second World War and its aftermath provide a vivid picture of the age and its personalities, and a woman of great intelligence, happiest on her country smallholding but able to cope with the demands on a politician's wife."e;While Darling Monster is a showcase of Diana's debonair wit, it is also a unique chronicle of wartime Britain. Her vivid descriptions, the sense of bravery in the face of impending doom, make these letters the kind of primary source material historians drool over."e; -The Guardian"e;Cooper is always quick with a turn of phrase, and the collection reminds us of a time, not so long ago, when letters were a natural part of life."e; -Publishers Weekly
