Admiral, Take the eye-rolling 'Tragic' out of the title and this book might have some appeal (to me, at least).

Yes I wondered if you are indeed recommending it, if so it will go right on my list of summer reads!

Second picture: not untasteful!

I plan to read this book but Vickers is a well known apologist for her; I shall be looking for old chestnuts, rumpy pumpy stories about von Ribbentrop, the death of Sir Harry Oakes, the Baltimore Clinch and various androgynous characteristics that he tries to gainsay.
