Here is an account of one man's adventure as a member of the group which became known as the Jet Set.
The victim of a rare cosmetic condition, Lady Colin Campbell was wrongly registered and brought up as a boy in an aristocratic family in Jamaica. She enjoyed privileges, but her teenage years were blighted, leaving her unable to receive essential medical treatment until she was 21. She became a model and a designer, and in the 1970s embarked on a short and violent marriage to Lord Colin Campbell. In this autobiography she writes of a life-long struggle to be accepted as the woman she is. She tells of her formative years in Jamaica and New York, her many love affairs, her connection with members of the Royal Family, her activities as a socialite and international charity organizer, and her current life as the fulfilled mother of two adopted Russian children.

Après le succès de son dictionnaire, Laurent Baffie revient avec un livre d’humour où les répliques et vannes s’enchaînent à toute vitesse. Pour notre plus grand bonheur !

Con una prosa sempre fluida e musicale, racconti piacevoli e intriganti, l’Autore ricorda alcuni episodi della sua vita, tristi e divertenti, spesso commoventi, sempre educativi. Dimostra, così, che arroganza e ingordigia, gelosia e prepotenza annullano le doti che possediamo e impoveriscono il prezioso dono di vivere. Pur essendo essenzialmente laico, il libro rivela una devozione per Madre Teresa di Calcutta e Giovanni Paolo II. I due santi gli insegnarono che la vita deve essere il grande amore di ognuno. Lui l’ha molto amata, e leggendo il libro si capisce che ne è ancora innamorato.
