Lord Leconfield's three beautiful, intelligent and volatile granddaughters grew up with every opportunity to spread their wings which they most certainly did. As leading members of The Souls, pre-occupied with philosophy and ideas, they mixed in society with the leading political figures of late Victorian and early Edwardian England. Much more than a biography - this is a beautifully researched and fascinating account of a remarkable family in the era eventually devastated by the First World War.
