Biography of an Edwardian hostess whose life was riven by grief November 7, 2008
Ettie is the story of an ambitious social hostess who moved in the highest echelons of political and literary life in Edwardian England.
In an extraordinary life the most striking aspect is how constantly it was touched by bereavement, in a book that brings home the losses suffered by families in World War I.
Whilst some of the lists of dinner party companions pall, particularly when unleavened by anecdotes, as sometimes occurs, her steeliness comes through strongly and is extraordinary.
