When Aline Griffith was born in Pearl River, New York, in 1923, one might have guessed from her exceptional beauty that a career as an actress or model might be in her future. Few would have imagined that twenty-one years later, she would find herself in Spain as a deep-cover OSS agent, infiltrating the highest levels of Spanish society, or that five years later still, she would marry a Spanish grandee and become one of the most watched, most admired, most fascinating women of international society. This is the story of Aline, Countess of Romanones, a story of courage, beauty and success that is far more exciting than any fictionalized thriller.

Good reader, subtly maintaining unobtrusive female perspective
Revisado: 04-07-21
Knowledge vs performance, action as meaning, bueauty as the background of action, contra Hollywood . Social life and real life greased by beauty without hype, as a fact like money in the bank. Placed in the nexus of The Good War, with Hitler and his henchmen odious , but part of work.

Lawrence Durrell's evocative memoir of living in Cyprus, just before the Greek/Turkish partition. This is a touching and atmospheric account of a place, now changed, where the two races lived side by side.

The emergence of irreconcilable differences
Revisado: 03-17-20
I did not know Durrell fancied himself a Tory. His understanding of the situation entailed both defense of the British Empire and more than empathy for the people: affection and appreciation tempered by imperial entertainment at the spectacle of their lives, followed by his own good intentions smashed by the dynamics of the world he sought to preserve.
