Down on the farm every day is different. Perhaps in the cowshed the swallows are leaving their nests or a sparrow is looking for somewhere to lay her eggs. Maybe the donkey is stealing the chicken feed or the lamb has found her way into the kitchen.

She was not even British. She would prove to be a trailblazer & beacon for the generations of women who would follow her into Parliament. This new biography charts Nancy Astor's incredible story from penury in the American South to a lifestyle of the most immense riches from the luxury of Edwardian England through the ' Jazz Age' & on towards the Second World War: a world of great country estates lavish town houses & the most sumptuous entertainments peopled by the most famous & powerful names of the age.
