Drawing on a rich store of materials from the archives of Highclere Castle, including diaries, letters, and photographs, the current Lady Carnarvon has written a transporting story of this fabled home on the brink of war. Much like her Masterpiece Classic counterpart, Lady Almina was the daughter of a wealthy industrialist, Alfred de Rothschild, who married his daughter off at a young age, her dowry serving as the crucial link in the effort to preserve the Earl of Carnarvon's ancestral home. Throwing open the doors of Highclere Castle to tend to the wounded of World War I, Lady Almina distinguished herself as a brave and remarkable woman. This rich tale contrasts the splendor of Edwardian life in a great house against the backdrop of the First World War and offers an inspiring and revealing picture of the woman at the center of the history of Highclere Castle"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Carnarvon Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 942.271 Carnarvon Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.271 Carnarvon Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Biography B Carnarvon Ca Transit   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.271 Carnarvon Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.271 Carnarvon Ca Claimed Returned 04/01/2015 Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 942.271 Carnarvon Ca Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
