My Grandmothers and I |
Diana lived with her mother's mother in Sussex surrounded by pugs and servants but occasionally visited her other grandmother who survived with only one maid-of-all-work in a virtual mausoleum to her deceased husband, the painter Holman-Hunt. Rivals for her affection, both grandmothers were determined to teach her that their way is best. If you ever come across a copy of this funny and perceptive memoir, originally published in 1960, snap it up! (Jenny Baker - bwl 22 February 2004) |
