Lady L by Romain Gary

Paperback. Condition: Good+. 1959. Pocket. Cardinal Edition. 

Lady L. is the symbol of that world, the last and the grandest of the grandes dames, the darling of English and Continental society, grandmother of Cabinet ministers and bishops, arbiter of taste and fashion. She is, it seems, lovable, intractable, eccentric, aristocratic. But locked in her heart are secrets of an altogether different life and a love she can never tell. This is the story of those secrets.
