Story
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

A black swan is a highly improbable event with three principal characteristics: It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. The astonishing success of Google was a black swan; so was 9/11. For Nassim Nicholas Taleb, black swans underlie almost everything about our world, from the rise of religions to events in our own personal lives. Elegant, startling, and universal in its applications, The Black Swan will change the way you look at the world.

Story
Princess Margaret aroused passion and indignation in equal measures. To her friends, she was witty and regal. To her enemies, she was rude and demanding. In her 1950s heyday, she was seen as one of the most glamorous and desirable women in the world. By the time of her death in 2002, she had come to personify disappointment. One friend said he had never known an unhappier woman. The tale of Princess Margaret is Cinderella in reverse: hope dashed, happiness mislaid, life mishandled.

Kind of A Glorious Waste of Time
- By Carole T. on 08-10-18
Publisher's Summary
The remarkable life of Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret who was also a Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation - and is a character in The Crown this autumn.
Anne Glenconner reveals the real events behind The Crown as well as her own life of drama, tragedy and courage, with the wonderful wit and extraordinary resilience which define her.
Anne Glenconner has been close to the Royal Family since childhood. Eldest child of the 5th Earl of Leicester, she was, as a daughter, described as 'the greatest disappointment' by her family as she was unable to inherit. Her childhood home, Holkham Hall, is one of the grandest estates in England. Bordering Sandringham, the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were frequent playmates.
From Maid of Honour at the Queen's Coronation to Lady in Waiting to Princess Margaret, Lady Glenconner is a unique witness to royal history as well as an extraordinary survivor of a generation of aristocratic women trapped without inheritance and burdened with social expectations.
She married the charismatic but highly volatile Colin Tennant, Lord Glenconner, who became the owner of Mustique. Together they turned the island into a paradise for the rich and famous, including Mick Jagger and David Bowie, and it became a favourite retreat for Princess Margaret.
But beneath the glitz and glamour there has also lurked tragedy. On Lord Glenconner's death in 2010 he left his fortune to a former employee. And of their five children, two grown-up sons died, while a third son had to be nursed back from a coma by Anne, after having suffered a near fatal accident.
Anne Glenconner writes with extraordinary wit, generosity and courage, and she exposes what life was like in her gilded cage, revealing the role of her great friendship with Princess Margaret and the freedom she can now finally enjoy in later life. She will appear as a character in the new series of The Crown this autumn.

Money doesn't make happiness
Lady Anne Glenconner's long life has been one of devoted service - service to her husband Colin Tennant who became 3rd Baron Glenconner, to her 3 adult sons, and to Princess Margaret whom she served as lady-in-waiting for 30 years. Were the recipients of her dedicated service worthy of it, I wonder?
Lady Anne's childhood at Holkham Hall in Norfolk, the beloved estate of her father 5th Earl of Leicester, was idyllic: paddling on the river (which she did unsupervised from the age of 5); romping with various dogs and horses ( her mother's only information before her daughter's wedding was that men did what the labradors did, except she'd be lying down); picnics and endless games with her sister and with Princess Margaret who was at neighbouring Sandringham.
Lady Anne's honeymoon started disastrously with her new husband's demented and fearsomely vile and arrogant behaviour, screaming at hotel workers as they dragged a double mattress up 4 flights of stairs on their 1st night. Never mind, next night he planned a 'surprise' for his new bride: watching a live sex show in some seedy Parisian dive which disgusted Lady Anne. Today Colin Tennant would surely have been medicated for a mental illness, but they married in 1954 when not only were such conditions undiagnosed and untreated, but marriage was for life, whatever. So Lady Anne suffered the tumultuous, outrageous temper tantrums (he was thrown bodily off a flight; would lie screaming at night in a foetal position on the floor; assaulted a shopkeeper in India who annoyed him). She indulged him with kindness as he spent vast amounts of money on houses for himself and others; on the island of Mustique which he bought and made a hedonistic hang-out for the super-rich; on unimaginable extravagant entertainment - and on mistresses.
Princess Margaret had a reputation as a demanding and difficult woman. Lady Anne knew her intimately and although she doesn't correct this view, her portrayal is sympathetic and compassionate. Here is a fun-loving woman imprisoned by her royalty whom lasting happiness eluded. (Tony Armstrong-Jones left notes for her saying 'I hate you'); happiness with Roddy Llewelyn lasted only 6 years; whose health was ruined by a a lifetime of chain-smoking (emptying the Princess's ash-trays was a Sisyphean task for those waiting on her).
The adult lives of her 3 sons were tragic. Motorbike madness resulted in the youngest being left for dead (his recovery took years of Lady Anne's devoted dedication); the eldest was addicted to drugs whilst still at school and he finally died of hepatitis C; the middle son left his wife and child and later died of AIDS. It is here that Lady Anne becomes reflective and we feel that all that wealth, luxury, privilege, travel, royalty fades into insignificance.
Lady Anne is now in her late 80s. You can tell when she is tiring and when she's started again after a break; and when she's truly moved by what she is saying. She is most interesting and human as she makes clear the high costs of her "extraordinary life.".
Definitely insightful and fascinating.

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Lady Glenconner read her memoirs. That she was reading made it all the more enjoyable, she wasn't just telling a story she was reliving it all. I cried as she described the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth and the death of her son Henry. She made Princess Margaret more Human. I will listen again. A lovely woman, tha I you for sharing your life.

Lady in Waiting
An amazing life story, wonderfully brought to life by its author. From a childhood at Holkham, to experiences at Court and a life spent mainly on Mustique, Anne Glenconner tells a great story. There is also deep tragedy, which is not skated over but described unflinchingly. I’m so glad to have listened on Audible rather than read the book. I cannot recommend this more highly.

Beautifully written, beautifully and simply ready by the author, this is funny, startling, and often deeply moving. Unusually for a memoir with lashings of royalty, it is neither a “tell-all” nor a fawning attempt at ingratiation. I’m so glad she wrote it, and sincerely hope she sticks to her plan to live to 100 and more. Pure listening pleasure.

Enchanted
I had no idea who this woman was until I started listening to her book. Illuminating insight into the inner sanctum of Royalty and her own family. She tells her story so well - for a person with no tertiary education per se, she is remarkably eloquent, knowledgeable and entertaining. What a cad she was married to, but persevered to the end. Her heartbreak at the death of not one, but two sons was palpable. A clear message comes across, maybe unintentionally, that money does not make one happy, at any level of society.

This world of privelege is quite astounding and I found it disturbing at times, the extreme wealth, the hierarchy, the tantrums. However this also makes for a great story.
