Mrs Keppel and Her Daughter by Diana Souhami
Alice Keppel, mistress to Edward VII, was a formidable, manipulative woman, whose relationship with the king placed her at the centre of Edwardian high society. Her daughter, Violet, was fascinated by her mother's glamour and power. Yet when she fell in love with Vita Sackville-West and embarked on a long, temptuous love affair, she threatened to break all the moral (or amoral) rules of her mother's duplicitious world.Diana Souhami has worked in publishing and her plays have been produced on radio and television, and in fringe theatres in London, Edinburgh and Bristol. She is the author of several biographies, including ‘Gertrude and Alice’, which John Richardson, the author of ‘A Life of Picasso’, describes as ‘a brilliant and witty chronicle of one of the happiest marriages in modern literary history. Not only star-studded, but light-filled’.
Diana Souhami lives in London.
