Description:
Sydney: Allen & Unwin, 2016. Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white photos centre spread, pages faintly toned as usual. 303 pp. Ethel Livesey was an attractive young woman from a respectable middle-class family in Manchester, but she had over 40 aliases, eight official marriages, four children and five divorces. Her story stretches from England to the French Riviera, New York, Shanghai and across Australia. Ethel claimed she was a cotton heiress, wartime nurse, casino hostess, stowaway, artist, opera singer, gambler, spy, close friend of the King, air raid warden, charity queen and even wife of Australian test cricketer. When her career imploded, with the abandonment of her glittering wedding in Sydney just two hours before the guests were due to arrive, her bizarre story raced around the world. But what was fact and what was fiction?
