    It's all About Edwina and you better not forget it!
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2019*

Just say NO to this boring book !  I have never read of a woman more self involved that Edwina Mountbatten! She professes to love the Uncle of Prince Philip yet cheats on his constantly and with multiple men (younger than herself) at the same time, making sure Lord Louise knows all about her affairs because SHE informs him! Mountbatten pines for this ugly natured creature but does have a few sexual affairs of his own because after giving birth to two daughters Edwina is apparently not interested in having sex with her husband! Neither is she interested in being any kind of a mother to the girls! Lord Louise meanwhile  notes on them! Edwina is mostly traveling the world to sleep her way around Europe! She confesses to her husband the love of her life is Ghandi.  He offers a divorce so that she may marry the man. She refuses. Why? Because she loves the perks of being married to the man whom Prince Charles thinks of as a father!  Louise is Prince Philips Uncle.  He has a kind and loving heart. Edwina lacks this.  Its the Edwina show all the way up until her death! Mountbatten continued to be her lap dog when it suited her.

    Worth reading, particular the part after she becomes the last Vicereine of India
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2019*

I was particularly interested in this woman who appears to have made a 180 degree directional change as an adult. She lived a glamorous playgirl existence in early adulthood, both prior to and especially after being married to Lord Louis Mountbatten (uncle of Prince Philip).  It was tedious reading about that time in her life. I was mainly interested in why she changed from a wealthy, indulged playgirl to a civil servant and devoted helper of the less fortunate all over the world but particularly in South Asia and India. What drives a person to make such a change?  Also, I was interested in the relationship with Jawaharlal Nehru, which began when she was Vicereine and continued (apparently just as intensely) right up until her death in 1960.  She had two very powerful men continually under her spell up until her death.  Like other reviewers, I would have liked the author's personal insights into this complex, intelligent and driven woman. What made her change from playgirl to woman with a purpose?

    Interesting but long read.. well worth it
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018*

Edwina was brought up as a very selfish woman, but she did have some redeeming qualities as well. For one, she was very organized, also cared about her history and background, and did an amazing amount of volunteer work and organizing the red cross and St. James Auxillary during and after the war, as well her work in India. But, she was a miserable mother she basically ignored her daughters till they were young ladies, then they were interesting to her. She ignored her husband leaving him to fend for himself and find other woman friends, then get moody with him and rage. The book goes into a lot of minutiae which I skipped through but it is very well written and left me with better impression of Edwina than I had when I started. Oh the rumor about Nehru you will have to find out for yourself.
