Publisher's Summary
From the best-selling author of Sheila comes the story of a bewitching Australian socialite who fascinated the world.
Enid Lindeman stood almost six feet tall, with silver hair and flashing turquoise eyes. The girl from Strathfield in Sydney stopped traffic in Manhattan, silenced gamblers in Monte Carlo and dared walk a pet cheetah on a diamond collar through Hyde Park in London.
In early 20th-century society, when women were expected to be demure and obedient, the granddaughter of Hunter Valley wine pioneer Henry Lindeman waltzed through life to the beat of her own drum. She drove an ambulance in World War I and hid escaped Allied airmen behind enemy lines in World War II, played bridge with Somerset Maugham and entertained Hollywood royalty in the world's most expensive private home on the Riviera, allegedly paid for by her winnings in a game of cards.
Enid captivated men with her beauty, outlived four husbands - two shipping magnates, a war hero and a larger-than-life Irish earl - spent two great fortunes and earned the nickname 'Lady Killmore'. From Sydney to New York, London to Paris and Cairo to Kenya, Robert Wainwright tells the fascinating story of a life lived large on the world stage.

Fantastic!!!
I loved everything about this book. Well written, well narrated and a interesting down to earth commentary of one fantastic Australian women's life story and wow what a life she had. I can definitely recommend. The only down side is Where is the previous book "Sheila" that is talked about in the Audible promo - is it not available!!
