Daughter of Narcissus

by Lady Colin Campbell

Overview

From the bestselling author of The Real Diana, this is a stunning analysis of narcissism through the lens of the author's own dysfunctional family, positioned at the heart of international society from the middle of the 20th century to present day. Departing from her former studies of the Royal Family and the Super Rich, Georgie Campbell turns her intelligence, insight and energy on to her own family's past to reveal the reality beneath serious personality disorders, and the emotional terrorism they engender. The book straddles two conflicting worlds: the white elitism of the British Colonial way of life and the empowerment of the black race post-Independence. It provides an insightful record of why the colonial age had to end, while also giving the reader an insider's view of the political and sociological difficulties that nationhood brought to the inhabitants of the colonies. Disarmingly honest and revelatory, Daughter of Narcissus not only places the disorder of narcissism in its proper sociological context, but it also exposes the shocking behaviour of the disordered personality. It is a fascinating history of a family who learnt to survive unbelievable misconduct in order to lead purposeful and affirming lives.
