Description
The Wyndham Sisters: A Tale of Privilege and Passion Born into a world of great wealth and privilege, the three Wyndham sisters - Mary, Madeline, and Pamela - were cultured bohemian daughters of a maverick politician and an artistic mother. Their lives were entangled with the scandalous and intellectual 'Souls' set, as well as the most celebrated figures of the day. This biography captures their dramatic lives from romantic beginnings through the passions and disappointments of womanhood to the tragedy and devastation of the First World War. The sisters' relationships with great statesmen, including Prime Minister Arthur Balfour and Liberal politician Edward Grey, are also explored in depth. Only one of the sisters would marry happily, a fact that adds to the complexity and intrigue of their lives. The book delves into the tragic events that brought a definitive end to their sons, their era, and way of life. A rich historical biography, Those Wild Wyndhams Three Sisters at the Heart of Power offers a fascinating insight into the lives of these three remarkable women.
