This year’s third book presentation will be "Kingmaker: Pamela Harriman’s Astonishing Life of Power, Seduction, and Intrigue" by Sonia Purnell, and is presented by Sky Moss.
From the publisher: "There are few at any time who have operated as close to the center of power over five decades and two continents, and there is practically no one in 20th Century politics, culture, and fashion whose lives she [Pamela Harriman] did not touch…Written with the novelistic richness and investigative rigor that only Sonia Purnell could bring to this story full of sex, politics, yachts, palaces and fabulous clothes, KINGMAKER re-asserts Harriman’s rightful place at the heart of history."
This is the author’s fourth novel.
