Six Brilliant and Extraordinary Society Hostesses between the Wars - a Spectacle of Celebrity, Talent, and Burning Ambition.
Lady Nancy Astor. Lady Sibyl Colefax, Mrs Laura Corrigan, Lady Emerald Cunard, Mrs Ronnie Greville and Lady Edith Londonerry
In the aristocratic circles of early 20th century London revolution was on the horizon - in the form of six remarkable society hostesses who would change the political, social and cultural landscape of Britain forever.
These formidable Queen Bees presided over society from their dining tables and salons, charming, scheming, and mingling their way (with mixed results) through two world wars, the Great Depression, an abdication, a coronation and an upheaval in class structures.
With a glittering cast of players from the Mosleys to the Mitfords, from millionaries to maharajahs, from film stars to royalty, Queen Bees is the witty, warm and fascinating story of six remarkable women.
