Five Sisters: The Langhorne Sisters of Virginia
by James Fox. The story of the five Langhorne sisters, Southern beauties who wielded a powerful influence in politics and culture during the tumultuous years from the turn of the 20th century through the Second World War.Lizzie was a famous Richmond belle and the mother of celebrated decorator Nancy Lancaster. Irene married Charles Dana Gibson and served as the model for that all-American icon, the Gibson girl. Nora, dreamy and artistic, had a turbulent life scattered with lovers including, perhaps, F. Scott Fitzgerald. Nancy entered English society through second husband Waldorf Astor and focused her formidable energies on politics as the first female member of Parliament. Phyllis married the brilliant English economist Bob Brand.
The author is a grandson of Phyllis Langhorne Brand and had access to many of the sisters' letters. This is a lively portrait of a family with its roots deep in Virginia but with influence that reached across the Atlantic.
I enjoyed this book immensely, and found the descriptions of late 19th-century life in Virginia to be fascinating and well-informed. I think you'll enjoy it, too!
