My Darling Mr Asquith
«'I gained great pleasure and interest from this sympathetic yet penetrating study of the woman who played such a significant part in Asquith's life with some remarkable consequences for her own.' Philip Ziegler; 'I knew Venetia well and loved her dearly. Stefan Buczacki has, quite brilliantly, brought her back to life. For anyone interested in the social and political world of the period covered by the two world wars, this is essential reading.' John Julius Norwich»
This is the true story of one woman's life set against the backcloth of the great events of the first half of the twentieth century. Its subject, the Hon Venetia Stanley was remarkable for what she was, what she did and the people she knew. Les mer
Churchill's daughter, the late Mary Soames who knew her well as a close friend and relative said to me, 'She was rum, you know!'
