The Reluctant Empress: A Biography of Empress Elisabeth of Austria |
This is about a part of History which I did not know, a time of great change in Europe, but also a tale of an extraordinary woman, an idol of her age, beautiful and mysterious. She became a legend but a very sad lady with a modern personality and a refusal to conform, who escaped to a life of her own but died tragically.
(Shirley Williams - bwl 80 Spring 2016) |
