"What a sparkling memoir....Drinking martinis with President
Roosevelt at Hyde Park, working for Ambassador Joseph Kennedy in
London, listening to Winston Churchill sing to his wife, meeting
Salvador Dali... and what a life Page Huidekoper Wilson has lived,
and she writes about her WWII years with champagne bubbles.
Wonderful, just wonderful." Kitty Kelley
"As Hitler’s armies swept westward over Europe and Great Britain
prepared for war, Page Wilson, aide to Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr., U.S.
Ambassador to Britain, was our fly on the wall. Not since Mollie
Panter-Downes’ dispatches to The New Yorker from her London flat in
the 1940’s have we been treated to such personal portraits of life
in London and the United States as the world descended into
madness." Robert T. Hall, Former President of the International
Academy of Trial Lawyers
"Anyone who dreaded the lights being extinguished in Europe, anyone
who felt the presence of the impending onslaught in Britain, anyone
who knew that America would have to come to the rescue - all of us
will cherish this wonderful memoire by a true American woman."
Maria Riva, Author of Marlene Dietrich by Her Daughter
An insightfully written reportage touched by her own compassion
and the breadth of knowledge she gained from WWII embassy life in
England.” Janine Selendy, Co-Chairman and Publisher, Horizon
International, Yale University
