Please join Dorothy Anne Phillips for the launch of her book, Victor and Evie: British Aristocrats in Wartime Rideau Hall. The launch will take place on November 21 at the Glebe-St James United Church in Ottawa.

In Victor and Evie, Dorothy Anne Phillips provides an intimate portrait of a family at the centre of Canadian social and political life. Using letters released in 2005, the correspondence of an aide-de-camp, the duke’s diary, and other primary documents, Phillips constructs a detailed inquiry into the family’s relationships with each other and with the prominent people they met.
