FABULOUS FRANCES FARQUHARSON (PB)

This colourful biography will fascinate and enthrall, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman. Born in 1920, Frances Lovell Oldham left her hometown of Seattle, Washington in her early twenties to pursue a journalism career in Europe. At a time when women rarely found independent success, Frances became a fashion editor at British Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. During the Second World War she went on a trade mission to the USA to boost British exports. After marrying Captain Alwyne Farquharson, the 16th Laird of Invercauld, in 1949, Frances threw herself into life as the queen’s neighbour at Balmoral bringing glamour and eccentricity to the grouse moors of Deeside.
