520    "Who were the Lost Girls? Chic, glamorous, and bohemian, 
       as likely to be found living in a rat-haunted maisonette 
       as dining at the Ritz, Lys Lubbock, Sonia Brownell, 
       Barbara Skelton, and Janette Parlade cut a swatch through 
       English literary and artistic life at the height of World 
       War II. Three of them had affairs with Lucian Freud. One 
       of them married George Orwell. Another became the mistress
       of the King of Egypt. All of them were associated with the
       decade's most celebrated literary magazine, Horizon. They 
       had very different--and sometime explosive--personalities.
       But taken together, they form a distinctive part of the 
       wartime demographic: bright, beautiful, independent-minded
       women with tough upbringings who were determined to make 
       the most of their lives in the chaotic time. Ranging from 
       Bloomsbury and Soho to Cairo and the culture studios of 
       Schiaparelli and Hartnell, the Lost Girls would inspire 
       the work of George Orwell, Evelyn Waugh, Anthony Powell, 
       and Nancy Mitford. These women are the missing link 
       between the Lost Generation and Bright young People of the
       1920s and 1930s and the Dionysiac cultural revolution of 
       the 1960s. Sweeping, passionate, and unexpectedly poignant,
       this is their untold story."-- Jacket.
