Publisher's Synopsis
'Diana Souhami is a remarkable biographer.' Sunday Tribune Gluck was born Hannah Gluckstein in 1895 into the family that founded the J. Lyons & Co. catering empire. She was a rebel. She dressed as a man in clothes designed by Victor Stiebel and Elsa Schiaparelli, she had passionate love affairs with society women, chose her own monosyllabic name, acknowledged no influence in her painting and exhibited her work only in 'one man' shows. Diana Souhami interweaves the pictures, people and events that made up Gluck's life, in this wonderful biography which received great critical acclaim when it was first published.
