Based on unpublished letters and diaries, The Viceroy's Daughters is a riveting portrait of three spirited and wilful women who were born at the height of British upper-class wealth and privilege.The oldest, Irene, never married but pursued her passion for foxes, alcohol, and married men. The middle, Cimmie, was a Labour Party activist turned Fascist. And Baba, the youngest and most beautiful, possessed an appetite for adultery that was as dangerous as it was outrageous.As the sisters dance, dine, and romance their way through England's most hallowed halls, we get an intimate look at a country clinging to its history in the midst of war and rapid change. We obtain fresh perspectives on such personalities as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Oswald Mosley, Nancy Astor and the Cliveden Set, and Lord Halifax. And we discover a world of women, impeccably bred and unabashedly wilful, whose passion and spirit were endlessly fascinating.

This is an engaging and well-written exploration into the lives of a high-profile English family from the early 1900’s to the 1970's. I much enjoy the author Ms de Courcy’s exhaustive research of personal diaries, correspondence, reminiscences and accounts which is then coherently brought together and related with such flow and succinctness so as to form a very readable account. I will be buying more of her work.I love family history and there is something to be learned from delving into the lives and interactions of any family, rich or poor.In the case of Lord Curzon we can see that he expected standards of morality from others that he did not himself follow. He was also too controlling with his daughters precisely at the age when they needed to spread their wings. Ultimately his rigid and self-centred approach led to the complete breakdown of his relationships with his daughters. Of his daughters we can say that “Baba” was spoiled by her good looks and so used to male attention that she went crazy when she did not get it. Cimmie tolerated far too much bad behavior from her bullying husband and it killed her in the end. Irene was desperate for male attention and took whatever she could get. Tom Mosley was just the sort of cruel and abusive, worthless man that women often run after. All things taken together it’s a fairly predictable tale of human nature, only in this case it is on steroids because the people concerned have endless money and time to follow their libidos. It is a picture of the social decay and decadence that marked the decline of the British empire, and the interpersonal cruelty, maltreatment and immorality of the upper classes.The only criticism I have with it is that it is not really clear who is who, at least for the first quarter of the book. A character index with the names, nicknames, titles and relation to each other would have been useful. Also the long deviation into the events surrounding Edward VIII's abdication and details of Fruity's loyal service was not that interesting to me.
