Описание: A wonderful snapshot of a moment in history - the final swansong for the debutantes and an era of aristocratic British social history. The author and her fellow `debs`, or `gels`, were taking part in a remarkable remnant of the rituals of aristocratic power. The system had been in operation almost unchanged since the 18th century. It was a female right of passage, an elaborate initiation ceremony marking the emergence of the virgin out of the schoolroom and into society at the now marriageable age of 17. This is a remarkable portrait of England in the past half century, filtered through some of its most colourful and eccentric inhabitants.
