"An eccentric is not trying to define themselves, they're born seeking a different way," explains Tyne O'Connell, and if anyone should know, it's her. The Mayfair-based author and socialite seems to have been torn straight from the pages of an Evelyn Waugh novel; with her cut-glass accent, perma-fixed tiara and layers of pearls.
Despite recently being diagnosed with a brain tumor, O'Connell has continued to embrace the extraordinary.”
In 2015 HRH as patron of the historic Eccentrics Club awarded her the title of “Most Eccentric British Thinker” based on her research into the 17th C when Eccentricity became the quintessential aspects of the British character. Her extraordinary life has been featured in TV documentaries & feature-spreads in Vogue UK, Elle & most UK broadsheets. Cassandra Jardine in The Daily Telegraph UK wrote: “The Impossibly glamorous Tyne O’Connell’s real life is every bit as extraordinary as her fiction” ELLE UK.
Critics have described O’Connell as, “Enid Blyton of our time” comparing her bestselling boarding-school series, Pulling Princes to “an up to date Mallory Towers”. The first four books in the series are set in a fictionalised Eton College &St Mary’s Ascot near Windsor Castle and based on her three children’s experiences at boarding school & Oxford as well as her own extraordinary life in Mayfair.
Born into an Irish Catholic family, daughter of a retired spy, her favourite chore as a child was collecting eggs from the hens for sixpence writing & reading. She was told by teachers & family she would be an author from age eight. Her first bestselling book was Sex, Lies & Litigation, pub1996 Headline to rave reviews.

O'Connell was educated by elderly Flemish Sacre-Coeur nuns (born in the 1870-80's) with the expectation that she would marry a diploma or Catholic aristocrat - perfectly equipping her for a world that hadn't existed since the 1930’s. It was an unusual Victorian style upbringing & by 17, she was accomplished in Le Cordon Blue, Croquet, Semaphore, Literature, Latin, Needlepoint, Flower Arrangement, Diamond Valuation, Deportment, Millinery & Embassy Dinner Seating. After school she returned

Le vrai résultat? Une catastrophe. Mal écrit, mal traduit, insultant et dégradant envers les femmes, réduites à un clitoris qui palpite et un usage hystérique de la carte de crédit, une caricature de chicklit dans le mauvais sens du terme. Gênant, très gênant.

Mal traduit, ce qui rend la lecture très désagréable.
L’histoire est au premier abord assez banale pour ce genre de livres mais elle passe par des détours tellement absurdes que ça en devient comique. Certains passages ont très mal vieilli (remarques assez dégradantes pour les femmes/les homosexuels).
Bref, livre d’une piètre qualité qui n’est bon que pour une lecture estivale sans grand intérêt

Started reading it, but I didn't like the first 50 pages (the style, the story). And since there are so many books sitting on my shelf I deciced not to finish it (which is a thing that does not happen very often, but I think I shouldn't waste my now precious reading time).
