Irene (born 1896), Cynthia (1898) and Alexandra (1904), were the three daughters of Lord Curzon, Viceroy of India 1898-1905 and probably the grandest and most self-confident imperial servant Britain ever possessed. His determination to control every aspect of his daughters' lives, including the money that was rightfully theirs, led them one by one into revolt against their father.

The three Curzon sisters were at the very heart of the fast and glittering world of the Twenties and Thirties. They see British fascism from behind the scenes, and have an equally intimate view of the arrival of Wallis Simpson and the marriage and life of the Windsors. Then World War II sees them nursing, working in canteens, lecturing and other war work.

This revealing portrait of British upper-class life in the first half of the 20th century, throws new light on Oswald Mosley (whom Cynthia married and followed into fascism before her early death in 1933), Nancy Astor and the Cliveden set, Lord Halifax (whose romantic devotion was enjoyed by Alexandra), and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
