"With her quick wit and light touch, Welch conducts a relentless
inquiry into conscience, family loyalty and the nature of the
past... an unsettling portrait of moustaches, murder, and
lèse-majesté.’ Frances Wilson, The Spectator
"In this funny, touching and ultimately tragic book, Welch
brilliantly exposes how the British family courted and then
abandoned their royal cousins in the run-up to World War I."
Kathryn Hughes, Mail on Sunday

Telegraph
