Description
The Fabulous Frances Farquharson: A Life of Colour and Style Born in Seattle, Frances Lovell Oldham was a society belle with a taste for adventure. At 17, she left her hometown to pursue a career in Europe, where she charmed Eastern European princesses and British royalty with her wit and charm. Frances's life was marked by remarkable resilience and determination. After fracturing her spine in a fatal house fire that claimed the life of her first husband, she made a stunning comeback as editor of Harper's Bazaar. Her work boosted morale during World War II, while also championing British products in boardrooms full of men. In 1933, Frances married Captain Alwyne Farquharson, the 16th Laird of Invercauld, and threw herself into life at Braemar Castle, bringing glamour and eccentricity to the Scottish Highlands.
