A good look at the life of Margaret, Duchess of Argyll. This naughty duchess did things her own way and to her own taste. She ruthlessly pursued men and all the fine things in life. Eventually, that way of living caught up with her and she was left a shadow of her former self.

A couple of quibbles: this book consistently refers to Prince George, Duke of Kent, as Prince George of Kent, which was wrong. The book also talked about the actress Pola Negri, mentioning her as "Polo Negri".
