...another. At first there are a lot of tolls and cities and tricky interchanges, and you have to be on your toes. From here to New York, it's all pretty familiar: Mass Pike, through the middle of Connecticut, New Haven, Bridgeport, the Bronx. Northern Connecticut is the prettiest part; the Connecticut coast is old and industrial.

Her father, the Earl of Longford, a sometime leader of the House of Lords, is also the author of a number of books on topics that range from banking to philosophy. Her mother Elizabeth is a distinguished biographer of Queen Victoria and the Duke of Wellington. One sister is a novelist; another turns out textbooks. A younger brother is a historian...
