Sheila by Robert Wainwright

Sheila by Robert Wainwright

Born on an Australian sheep station, Sheila Chisholm (1895-1969) wedded earls and barons, befriended literary figures and movie stars, and died a Russian princess.

As social history Sheila Chisholm's life is fascinating.. it's undeniably enjoyable to read of all that glitter and gold. -- Selina Hastings * Spectator *
A marvelously entertaining story that at times resembles a glossy television period drama. * Daily Express *
A sensational look at how a country girl became a city socialite... a rip-roaring biography. * Marie Claire *
The charm of Wainwright's biography is that he makes us see what an engaging, admirable and sometimes heroic quality it is to be a life-enhancer like Sheila. -- Jane Shilling * Daily Mail *
Sparkling... an eminently readable and lively account of a woman who, in many ways, epitomised the glamour and style of the Jazz Age. * Country Life *
Nothing short of impressive... Wainwright has revived a legend. * The Lady *
A seductively antipodean Auntie Mame. * The Times *

Robert Wainwright has worked as a journalist for thirty years and is the author of eight books. He lives in London.
