The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller 'This second volume of memoirs
is as fascinating as the first....full of wit, joy, vivid vignettes
and useful insights...she has another bestseller on her hands'
India Knight, Sunday Times 'It's great to have another memoir from
Lady Glenconner . . . as open-minded and entertaining as she
clearly is' Lynn Barber, Sunday Telegraph 'A jolly anecdote for
every day of the year and excellent advice' Hilary Rose, The Times
'As glorious and highly readable as its predecessor - as well as
being packed full of new stories' ipaper 'Full of eye-popping
detail' Sophia Money-Coutts, Daily Telegraph 'Charm itself'
Spectator 'Anne Glenconner returns to charts her fascinating life
and the hard-won lessons learnt in diplomacy, marriage and
motherhood' Tatler.com Bracing honesty, rare insight and hilarious
revelations from internationally bestselling author of LADY IN
WAITING as she shares everything she's learned from her
extraordinary and unexpected life. Anne Glenconner's glittering
life hasn't always been golden. As she revealed in her astonishing
bestselling memoir Lady in Waiting, it has been one of stark
contrasts - from growing up in the splendour of Holkham Hall to
living in a tent in the jungle of Mustique, from travelling the
world with Princess Margaret to coping with her wildly
unpredictable husband Lord Glenconner. Tragically, she has also
survived the loss of two of her sons and nursed a third son back
from a coma. Now in her ninetieth year, and at her happiest, Anne
brings her bracing honesty, characteristic wit and courage to
reflect on and reveal more about her long and unexpected life, her
extremely volatile marriage, and what it's taught her. As a wife,
she became a master in the art of keeping the peace, knowing when
to pick her battles, when she needed help - and when to take a
lover. As a hostess, she acquired great practical skills in
throwing marvellous parties and looking after magnificent homes,
and, as a lady in waiting, became well versed in diplomacy and
etiquette. It was as a mother she learnt the toughest lessons of
all, and through them the value of friendship, family, and laughter
to get her through the worst moments in life, as well as celebrate
the best of them. Anne Glenconner's Whatever Next? is the richly
entertaining proof that staying open to every new adventure and
being ready for whatever happens sets an inspiring example for us
all.
