[Margaret]

A competent but uninspiring biography. Partly I think I just didn't particularly like Margot, and partly I got tired of Bennett's habit of editorializing on Margot and Asquith's actions.

Just picked this book up really randomly - not sure why we even own a copy - and I knew nothing about Margot, but I was hooked - it was really nicely written, and you can't help but be fascinated by Margot! she just decided what she was going to be - the wife of a Prime Minister - and canvassed a bunch of possible men until she hooked one - and sure enough, he made it! also, she must have been one of the ugliest women I've ever seen, but she never let that worry her. What a shame she didn't espouse the suffrage cause, she would have been awesome...she lived through others, and resented Nancy astor for doing it for herself...a pity
