Diana Cooper: The Rainbow Comes And Goes

Of this first volume of Lady Diana Cooper's autobiography the critics have written: "This is not to be judged merely as the memoirs of an exceptionally brilliant social figure, but as a work of art. By that standard it has real distinction" - Evelyn Waugh.

"Slips with easy assurance into the ranks of literature.
The Rainbow Comes and Gos is a very good book indeed... Lady Diana writes with a mixture of tact, dash, and simplicity which the professional may envy' - The times literary supplement.

"In this book Lady Diana Cooper has told her own love story. It is romantic but not sentimental; it is outspoken but not embarrassing; although set against a background of success and grandeur, there is no vaunting... Hers is one of the most genuine self-portraits I have ever encountered" - Harold Nicolson.
