Publishers Weekly
How a self-indulgent heiress transformed herself into a zealous, globe-hopping humanitarian is the crux of this vivacious, energetic biography. Edwina Astley wed Lord Louis (``Dickie'') Mountbatten in 1922 at the age of 20, then embarked on two decades of frivolity. Not satisfied having two well-behaved daughters and an ``enthusiastic boy'' of a husband, she took refuge in lovers and sparked scandals. When the German blitz hit London, Edwina Mountbatten worked in an ambulance brigade and proved herself a charismatic administrator. She organized relief teams in newly liberated Europe as well as rescue efforts to bring home prisoners held in Japanese camps. While her husband, appointed the last viceroy of India, hammered out the terms of India's independence and partition, she experienced a passionate union of souls with Nehru, the great unfulfilled love of her life. Morgan ( Agatha Christie ) had unique access to the hundreds of letters Edwina and Nehru wrote to each other until her death in 1960. She presents Edwina as a ``brittle, troubled'' woman but also as an audacious, independent voice critical of British neocolonialism and Cold War jingoism. Photos. (Sept.)
Library Journal
The Mountbattens have attracted considerable attention in recent years, with the recent publication of the last volume of Lord Mountbatten's diaries edited by Philip Ziegler ( LJ 4/1/91), Richard Hough's Edwina, Countess Mountbatten of Burma (Morrow, 1984; Quill, 1986), and the present work. This will become the standard life of Lady Mountbatten if for no other reason than that the author had exclusive access to her correspondence with Nehru, stretching over more than a decade. Their passionate if long-distance affair rivals, albeit in a markedly different fashion, the profligacy of her youth, and it says much both for her charm and her husband's tolerance that the pair remained close. This biography titillates, but it also informs. Edwina was, for all her notoriety, an amazing individual, and Morgan captures her as she captivates the reader. Highly recommended.-- Jim Casada, Winthrop Coll., Rock Hill, S.C.
