About this book

Biography of Mary Farmar, a descendant of the Duke of Wellington, who married first Baron Swinfen and then Eric Siepmann.

She started writing seriously at the age of 70 under the pen name of Mary Wesley to stave off poverty. Between the ages of 70 and 85 she produced a series of best sellers including "The Camomile Lawn", which appear to include significant autobiographical elements.

Her life in pre-war and wartime Britain was remarkable, and almost scandalous.

Her friends provided first hand experience of pre-war Europe, and then of the post war challenges that followed.

A fascinating window into upper middle class Britain of the time.
