Table of ContentsReviewsIn this gripping biography, Natalie Livingstone shows that Rothschild women were the velvet gloves guiding the iron fists of their male relatives and far from being mere appendages, they acted as trusted confidants and silent partners. -- Hannah Rothschild, author of The Improbability of Love Captivating, intimate, dazzling, epic, and revelatory. -- Simon Seabag-Montefiore This brilliantly researched and scintillatingly written book is proof positive that the female of the Rothschild species were even more fascinating and talented than the males. -- Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny Praise for The Mistresses of Cliveden: [Livingstone's] portraits of strenuous and assertive women who resisted subjection, sometimes deploying their sexual allure to succeed, on other occasions drawing on their husband's wealth, are astute, spirited, and empathetic. --The Wall Street Journal Missing Downton Abbey already? This tome promises 'three centuries of scandal, power, and intrigue' and Natalie Livingstone definitely delivers. --Good Housekeeping Any of her action-filled chapters would merit a mini-series. --The New York Times Book Review Lovers of modern English history and the scandals that infiltrated upper-crust society will find much to enjoy in this work. --Library Journal Packed with details about architecture, gardens, clothing, and manners, Livingstone's debut is an entertaining, anecdotal popular history. --Publishers Weekly Author InformationNatalie Livingstone was born and raised in London.
