Diana Cooper
Trumpets from the Steep
London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1960.
First printing.
The third and final volume of Lady Diana Cooper's memoirs, and probably the most interesting.
This volume covers the Second World War years and her subsequent triumph as the British Ambassador's wife in the Embassy in Paris.
After the liberation, every night she threw the building open to anyone and everyone who wanted to drop by for free drink and gossip.
The volume ends with her retirement to Chantilly and the end of an era, whose spirit she embodied.
Hardcover, with slight wear to jacket.
