Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
In this biography of Iris Origo, Caroline Moorehead has drawn on unpublished letters, diaries and manuscripts. It provides a vivid picture of the life of one of the most intriguing and attractive women of the 20th century.;Together with her shrewd husband, Antonio, Iris Origo bought and brought life to a derelict, arid stretch of land in the Val d'Orcia called La Foce, and created a model estate with a hospital and a school for disadvantaged children. The book also throws light upon the growth of Fascism in Italy in the 1920s and 1930s, and the effect it had on the Origos.
This book is not simply the life story of an admirable but formidable grande dame ... It is a history of her world. (Literary Review)
A lucid, informative and interesting biography. (Literary Review)
An admirably perceptive, well-written and and entertaining biography. (The Spectator)
No one would have appreciated better than Iris Origo herself the delicacy, precision and tact with which this book restores her life. (Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year)
