A dancer a deb and a Socialite – Josephine Loewenstein WIND IN MY HAIR a Kaleidoscope of Memories
Gorgeous Lives on Radio Gorgeous with Josephine Pembroke
Josephine could have gone down the obvious route for a girl of her class born during the war; marriage at eighteen and a stultifying life in the country. Josephine had bigger dreams, she became a professional dancer, learnt Italian and lived in Rome, married a clever but impoverished German Prince and made her darling Mustique wildly fashionable. Hear Josephine tell the other Josephine some extraordinary stories from her memoir WIND IN MY HAIR which is out now and published by Dovecote Press.
