For one, she was very well organized, also cared about her family history and background, and she did an amazing amount of volunteer work and organizing with the Red Cross and St. James Auxiliary during and after the war, as well her work in India. But, she was a miserable mother she basically ignored her daughters till they were young ladies, then they were interesting to her. She ignored her husband leaving him to fend for himself and find other woman friends, then she would torture him he awful mood swings and break into a rage. The book goes into a lot of minutiae which I skipped through but it is very well written and left me with better impression of Edwina than I had when I started. Oh the rumor about Nehru you will have to find out for yourself. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EDWINA MOUNTBATTEN-A LIFE OF HER OWN *by S***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 3, 2013* Edwina Mountbatten-A LIFE OF HER OWN IS A very interesting book. The Author, Janet Morgan was able to research her book with the blessings of the Mountbatten family. Edwina was a complicated person due to part that her childhood was not as happy as it should have been. Her parents were too interested in their own feelings and lives than to give Edwina and her sister Mary the Love and attention Children required. If it were not for Edwina's grandfather, Sir Ernest Cassel and his sister, Wilhelmina [Minna, or Aunty-Grannie] the girls would have been shut away with just their Nannies and Tudors. The girls' father, Wilfrid Ashley, remarried to a woman that was the true Wicked Step-mother. She did not want the responsibility of raising the girls and got ride of their Tudor and sent them off to boarding school.Lord Louis never stopped loving Edwina and put up a lot with her "I am going to do what I want ways".I would RECOMMEND Ms. Morgan's Book because of her research and background information. Ms. Morgan's book and Richard Hough's Book EDWINA COUNTESS MOUNTAIN OF BURMA GIVE AN INSIDE PICTURE OF THE LIVES OF THE RICH AND FAMOUS FROM 1900 TO 1979. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading, particular the part after she becomes the last Vicereine of India *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 14, 2019* I was particularly interested in this woman who appears to have made a 180 degree directional change as an adult. She lived a glamorous playgirl existence in early adulthood, both prior to and especially after being married to Lord Louis Mountbatten (uncle of Prince Philip). It was tedious reading about that time in her life. I was mainly interested in why she changed from a wealthy, indulged playgirl to a civil servant and devoted helper of the less fortunate all over the world but particularly in South Asia and India. What drives a person to make such a change? Also, I was interested in the relationship with Jawaharlal Nehru, which began when she was Vicereine and continued (apparently just as intensely) right up until her death in 1960. She had two very powerful men continually under her spell up until her death. Like other reviewers, I would have liked the author's personal insights into this complex, intelligent and driven woman. What made her change from playgirl to woman with a purpose? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/93509367-edwina-mountbatten-a-life-of-her-own-hardcover-january-1](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/93509367-edwina-mountbatten-a-life-of-her-own-hardcover-january-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
