Gloria Vanderbilt, one of America's greatest heiresses, and her twin sister Thelma, Lady Furness — intimate companion to the Prince of Wales — chronicle their intertwined lives with remarkable candour, moving from opulent drawing rooms in New York to the courts of European aristocracy, navigating wealth, scandal, romance, and loss in equal measure.\n\nWritten in alternating voices, the dual-narrative structure itself is a literary statement, presenting two perspectives on a shared world that was, in truth, experienced very differently by each woman. The authors illuminate the paradox at the heart of gilded lives — that immense privilege offers no immunity from grief, betrayal, or loneliness — and their combined testimony stands as a vivid social document of an era defined by excess and upheaval. What emerges is a portrait not merely of two remarkable individuals, but of a vanished world of transatlantic glamour that continues to captivate the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269348008155,"sku":"2026200017103-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/60938040-4b3a-45a2-9559-18ff98203b8c.png?v=1788999060","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200017103-secondhand-double-exposure-a-twin-autobiography","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
