Wind In My Hair - A Kaleidoscope Of Memories
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Josephine Loewenstein has lived most of her life in the whirlwind wake of husband Prince Rupert Loewenstein, amidst high society, the Rolling Stones, royalty and the fast lane of the 20th century. But here is a surprisingly dispassionate and acute observer of this passing show, by no means mesmerised or dazzled by it. Meet larger than life characters whose paths have crossed hers - many of them famous, others who cast a brief, but occasionally notorious, glow on their age, and are now shadowy footnotes. Josephine trained to be a ballerina until she was forced to give up her career because of her height. She escaped to Rome, a city bursting with colour and vitality in contrast to the shortages and gloom of post-war London. She was introduced to a dolce vita lifestyle - a patchwork of parties, people and places. Yet for all the wealth and glamour, there is a poignancy about her observations, a sense of the transience behind the glitter and bravura, that makes Wind in My Hair refreshingly different to many other memoirs. The cover has a small tear.
