Following a bucolic childhood in rural Surrey among her extensive Polish family, Basia moved to London, living with her glamorous mother Camilla and a string of Surrogate fathers. Abandoned to her own devices after Camilla's remarriage, she quickly rose to become a teenage 'it girl' of high society, aspiring to marry into aristocracy. However, this was not to be, as an unplanned pregnancy and fall from grace led to her shelving any dreams of self-advancement and emigrating to Australia. In this memoir, Basia lays bare the many vicissitudes of her youth and examines her tumultuous relationship with her mother; a dazzling, riotous, and truly eccentric character with an explosive dark side.
