    Poor Maggie, what a Life.
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019*

All my life, I had heard about this “dreadful” woman. I was fascinated by her. I then forgot all about her. Whilst reading my way through Lady Colin Campbell’s books she pops up again. Another side to the ongoing story.The Campbell men, as Dukes of Argyll, are not the most pleasant of human beings. They are mercenary at best,from all accounts, exceedingly unpleasant at worst as husbands from their wives recollections.They burst onto the historical stage at Glencoe and it is all downhill from there. Personally, as a Scot, I have little to do with Campbells. Just saying.Margaret comes across as a product of her generation, a last bright flame of a dying breed. None too bright, enormously wealthy, privileged and blessed with the right looks for the time, she shone incandescently. Dazzling men, she picked and used, used and dropped, flitted and married, was cushioned by wealth and connections until the very end. Self professedly highly sexed, she loved being with men. Did she like sex or the process of romance? She was a contemporary of Wallis Simpson, and looked like her.The famous Headless Polaroid is here, not the photo itself, but a discussion. We still don’t know the man, but we have a good stab at his identity.Personally, I would love to know how these women never got pregnant. Or perhaps they did, and had “ terminations”. How DID they cope with such active sex lives and keep their birth rates so low?If you like a good readable biography, try this. It skips and jumps. Misses chunks and I think this is due to lack of material?  Just stay away from Campbell men!

    Well written and researched
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019*

I knew nothing about the Duchess before reading this book.  The book offers a factual and multi faceted look at her story.  It reads very much like a novel and was enjoyable to read.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys biographies.  I would also seek out other works by this author as this one is so well done.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A spoiled entitled woman
  

*by F***X on Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2019*

I couldn't put this book down because I couldn't relate to her lifestyle of men, money, and entitlement.  Fascinating psychological study of a woman's reality in the upper class of who she thought she was and who she thought she should be.  For sure there was grit in her pearl.
