Reader Reviews:julian (2/10 people found this helpful)What a sad waste. I hoped to learn something new, particularly about the Suez emergency and the personalities in politics at that time.This book,however,struck me as entirely superficial,enormously name dropping and stopping short whenever the author approached anything interesting . Cocktail party chatter(all right,at it's best). DON'T MISS (9/10 people found this helpful)Memoirs of beautiful and captivating women tend to be about their amorous conquests. In Clarissa Eden's memoir, discretion underlines a passionate nature, a wry and acerbic view of life and all that it has brought her. It encompasses the strain and fun of youth as well as marriage to a British Prime Minister - it is such a good read and has the best ever captions to all the photographs.
