Lovell Mary S. Title : Le sorelle Mitford. Biografia di una famiglia straordinaria
Author: Lovell Mary S.
Publisher: BEAT

Figlie di David e Sydney Freeman-Mitford, baroni Redesdale, le sorelle Mitford hanno scandalizzato l'Inghilterra della prima metà del Novecento con la loro vivacità, esuberanza e, in alcuni casi, con il loro fanatismo politico. Nancy, la maggiore, fu arguta autrice di una serie di romanzi di successo. Pam, la «sorella discreta», dotata di una sorta di bucolica serenità, si dedicò al giardinaggio, all'allevamento degli animali e alla cucina. Diana, la «divina», che a ventidue anni sembrava avere tutto - la bellezza, il denaro, un marito fascinoso e adorante e due bambini sani -, rimase folgorata da Sir Oswald Mosley, fondatore dell'Unione Britannica dei Fascisti, e iniziò una nuova vita con lui. Unity fu preda di una mortale ossessione per Adolf Hitler, che la portò alla rovina. Decca, la ribelle, fuggì in Spagna con il cugino Esmond Romilly, con cui aveva una relazione segreta, per partecipare alla Guerra civile. Debo, nonostante la cattiva reputazione di Diana, Unity e Decca avesse ridotto le sue probabilità di un buon matrimonio, convolò a nozze con Lord Andrew Cavendish, erede del decimo duca di Devonshire. In questa spumeggiante biografia Mary S. Lovell dà vita a un avvincente racconto su sei leggendarie sorelle le cui tragedie e passioni, conquiste e disfatte si sono divise equamente le luci della ribalta, incantando e ammaliando intere generazioni.

Lovell Mary S. Title : Côte d'Azur. 1920-1960: gli anni d'oro della Riviera francese
Author: Lovell Mary S.
Publisher: BEAT

Già meta invernale prediletta delle famiglie reali e aristocratiche inglesi e russe, negli anni Venti del Novecento la Côte d'Azur divenne il luogo per eccellenza della villeggiatura estiva del jet set internazionale. Nel 1926 i ricchi newyorkesi Gerald e Sara Murphy, che ispirarono i personaggi di Dick e Nicole Diver in Tenera è la notte di Francis Scott Fitzgerald, la elessero a loro luogo di residenza attirando nel giro di pochi anni un gruppo eclettico di pittori, scrittori e altri artisti, tra i quali Pablo Picasso, Paul Robeson, Cole Porter, Dorothy Parker, Jean Cocteau, Scott e Zelda Fitzgerald. Ma anche l'attrice americana Maxine Elliott, forse amante di un re d'Inghilterra e abilissima investitrice, a cui va il merito di aver concepito lo Château de l'Horizon, una deliziosa villa bianca in stile art déco che non tardò a diventare la residenza estiva delle più illustri personalità dell'epoca, da Churchill ai duchi di Windsor. Disegnato da un giovane americano, per tre decenni Château de l'Horizon avrebbe rappresentato il santuario di uno stile di vita sensuale, lussuoso, eccentrico. Questo libro ne racconta la storia, ma parla anche del primo, ammaliante periodo in Riviera, quando l'accettazione da parte dei circoli più esclusivi esigeva una ricchezza che i comuni mortali neanche sognavano.

Lovell Mary S. Title : Straight on Till Morning

Lovell, author of The Sisters and The Churchills, presents this biography of Beryl Markham. Beryl Markham was a record breaking aviatrix, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic from east to west, and the first person in history to fly non-stop from London to New York. Markham's personal life was just as interesting as her professional life, both of which are covered in this well-researched and expertly written biography. This book, a reprint from 1987, appeals to the general reader as well as those with an interest in aviation history. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Lovell Mary S. Title : The Churchills
Author: Lovell Mary S.
Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc

The first Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722) was a soldier of such genius that a lavish palace, Blenheim, was built to honor his triumphs. Succeeding generations of Churchills sometimes achieved distinction but also included profligates and womanizers, and were saddled with the ruinous upkeep of Blenheim. The family fortunes were revived in the nineteenth century by the huge dowries of New York society beauties Jennie Jerome (Winston's mother) and Consuelo Vanderbilt (wife to Winston's cousin).

Mary S. Lovell brilliantly recounts the triumphant political and military campaigns, the construction of great houses, the domestic tragedies, and the happy marriage of Winston to Clementine Hosier set against the disastrous unions of most of his family, which ended in venereal disease, papal annulment, clinical depression, and adultery.

The Churchills were an extraordinary family: ambitious, impecunious, impulsive, brave, and arrogant. Winston—recently voted "The Greatest Briton"—dominates them all. His failures and triumphs are revealed in the context of a poignant and sometimes tragic private life.

Lovell Mary S. Title : A Scandalous Life
Author: Lovell Mary S.
Publisher: Fourth Estate

From the acclaimed biographer of The Sisters, the story of one of the most remarkable women of the 19th century, who traveled far and wide on a quest for true love
 
Produced from Jane Digby's diaries, this sympathetic and dramatic portrait of a rare woman explores a fascinating glimpse into the centuries-old Bedouin tradition that is now almost lost. A celebrated aristocratic beauty, Jane Digby married Lord Ellenborough at 17. Their divorce a few years later was one of England's most scandalous at that time. In her quest for passionate fulfillment she had lovers which included an Austrian prince, King Ludwig I of Bavaria, and a Greek count whose infidelities drove her to travel Eastern Asia. In Syria, she found the love of her life, a Bedouin nobleman, Sheikh Medjuel el Mezrab, who was 20 years her junior. During the remainder of her life she adopted for six months of each year the exotic but uniquely harsh existence of a desert nomad living in the famous black goathair tents of Arabia; the remaining months she spent in the splendid palace she built for herself and Medjuel in Damascus. As wife to the Sheikh and mother to his tribe this passionate woman found not only genuine fulfillment but further adventures, all of which she committed each year to her diary.

Lovell Mary S. Title : The Sound of Wings
Author: Lovell Mary S.
Publisher: Griffin

When Amelia Earhart mysteriously disappeared in 1937 during her attempted flight around the world, she was already known as America's most famous female aviator. Her sense of daring and determination, rare for women of her time, brought her insurmountable fame from the day she became the first woman to cross the Atlantic in an airplane. In this definitive biography, Mary S. Lovell delivers a brilliantly researched account on Earhart's life using the original documents, letters, the logbooks of Earhart and her contemporaries, and personal interviews with members of Amelia's family, friends and rival aviators The Sound of Wings vividly captures the drama and mystery behind the most influential woman in “The Golden Age of Flight”—from her tomboy days at the turn of the century and her early fascinations with flying, to the unique relationship she shared with G.P. Putnam, the flamboyant publisher and public relations agent who became both her husband and her business manager. It is a revealing biography of an uncommonly brave woman, and the man who both aided and took advantage of her dreams.
