Title: ****EDWARDIAN BEDROOM ANTICS****
Review: Another study of English bedroom antics, though this time including lesbianism and how it was on one hand hidden and the other out in the open. Royals always have been known for double standards regarding sexual activities. The story revolves around Mrs. Keppel and her daughter Violet.The book was very well written, never dry and actually based on memoirs, diaries and letters. We get our voyeuristic tendencies gratified but you also feel the deep emotions that a mother and daughter go through no matter what the era.I had read other books regarding Mrs. Keppel, her daughter Violet, but never one on Violet's lover Anita Sackville-West. This additional entry of West almost caused a upper crust cat fight between mother, daughter and the daughters lover. Aside from all of that, the book kept my interest with true insight into Edwardian social values being threatened by an out of the closet event.A most enjoyable, well written and enlightening book.
