Fiona MacCarthy | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

Part personal memoir, part cultural history this is a fascinating insight into the world of the English debutante. The mystique and manners of the aristocracy remain a potent subject, and this portrait of Britain at a time when empire and the certainties of the old order were coming to an end, written by the lauded biographer of Byron, will be a major history title for the Autumn.
