Yet opulence brought few advantages. Her father's death was kept secret from her, as were his mistresses. Nanny succeeded nanny: some heartless, some kind, one mad. Whilst her mother was a formidable and self-willed woman whose extraordinary character dominates every page of this often moving portrait of a world that is now extinct.
