I really enjoyed this book. It's stunning to think that one family could have been dead center on most of the history that reverberated through modern European and American history. And if they hadn't been titled, they still would have been fascinating â they were a family of individuals in the truest sense.
Compelling story, very captivating!

Great book about a very unique family. Why did they all turn out to be so unusual? There was never a group like this in all England.
If you love England, the first half of 20th century, gossip, famous people, you will love this one.
Got this for my reading group and couldn't get thru it. Other people really liked it, however.
