An interesting and informative read

I strayed on this book after reading The Sun Sister by Lucinda Riley which sparked my interest in Happy Valley history. I've since ordered White Mischief which I'll be reading next. Idina Sackville was definitely a troubled soul but an utterly absorbing character to read about . She was way ahead of her time and in so many ways a trail blazer. To set up home in Kenya and travel as an independent woman back in the 30s is no mean feat. She lived the life of a hedonist but paid a terrible price and for me her story is ultimately tragic. She is a multi faceted character , intelligent , eccentric and attractive ; to some degree a victim of the patriarchal Edwardian society . Ultimately a woman looking to be loved ...
I really enjoyed reading The Bolter and for written content it deserves 5* . The reason I gave it 4* is because bought the kindle edition and there are no pictures of photos. I wanted to put faces to names, I wanted to see what Clouds looked like and where it was situated . I don't know if the hard copies have photos but I was a tad disappointed.

Happy Valley doing its worst.

Full marks to Osborne for the tireless effort and research she deployed in producing an attempt at understanding her recalcitrant ancestor. It must have been a painful journey for her but once the cat was out of the bag I can see she needed to go on it. She didn't shy away from unpleasantness or make excuses, but presented the facts, as she could fathom them, with credit worthy honesty and a certain objectivity that only time can engender.

Idina did come over as a bit of a car crash, displaying the excesses and extremes that act as a magnet for mainstream folk to gawp at. You get the impression that her life was a toxic mix of insecurity, high living, social privilege and deep unhappiness. A life perhaps not well lived, but certainly very lived.

An interesting insight for those studying the social mores of post Edwardian colonialism. (Or for gawpers).a

The author of this book disovered purely by chance that she was related to Idina Sackville, a woman who spent much of her life involved in, and causing, scandal. Thankfully, she decided to try to discover more about her and this is the result, a sympathetic but honest appraisal of her life from Edwardian London to Happy Valley in Kenya. Idina was herself the child of divorced parents, who had an unconventional mother and found herself frowned upon as a suitable bride when she became a debutante. However, glamorous and outgoing, she made an impressive match when she married the incredibly rich and handsome Euan Wallace. Their early married life was interrupted by the First World War and, as children came and they were separated by events and change, it affected them. Idina was unwilling to put up with Euan's affairs and the marriage could not be saved.

In hindsight, it is easy to see where, and how, things go wrong. This divorce was shocking at a time when marriages between members of the aristocracy had different boundaries. Affairs were commonplace, but divorce was not. When Idina walked away from her marriage she had to leave behind her two sons. What follows are the stories of four more marriages. Charles Gordon, Josslyn Hay (infamously murdered in Kenya), Donald Haldeman and Vincent Soltan. Gossip surrounded Idina, with rumours of scandalous behaviour at the beautiful homes she created in Kenya. Much of what happened seems shocking, even today, with you feeling pity - not only for Idina herself, who seemed to need somebody to cling to in order to prove her attraction - but also for her children. This is a moving, and often tragic, account of a life - however, it was certainly a life lived to the full. Lastly, I read the kindle version of this book and it contained no illustrations.

We all loved the book, though it was an incredibly sad story and we felt very sorry for Idina. It was a tragic though clearly rich life. Failed marriages, untimely deaths and personal ill health haunted Idina. However Idina still managed to enjoy life and fitted a vast amount in: setting up 3 farms on previously untended land in Kenya is pretty impressive in itself - she was certainly highly regarded by the Kenyans. Then there is the massive house in Scotland that she project managed at a very young age. Also her trips to Paris in wartime and a drive to Kenya are incredible. She did all this and remained so glamorous - what a gal - hat's off to Idina.

We found the permissive Edwardian society absolutely astounding - affairs among the gentry were rife! In fact they seem to have been almost the norm and the general behaviour was shocking even to us broad minded modern women!. Idina certainly wasn't the worst.

At the beginning of the book it is easy to be judgemental about Idina, and the decisions she made, but as the story unfolds it is clear just how unselfish she was. We loved that Frances Osbourn made no judgement - she simply tells the story as it was and wasn't tempted to sensationalise. The afterword is an independent verification of all that Frances tells.

We found the footnotes through the book of no help at all but the family tree at the front of the book was frequently flicked back to by most of us.
