Cynthia Helms, now 90, has had a remarkable, if not, strictly speaking, an intriguing, life. If there's any person of note she hasn't met on either side of the Atlantic, it's not obvious from her book, co-written with Chris Black.
She has a lot to say about her own and other women's changing roles and aspirations over recent decades.
She discusses frankly the lack of freedom and companionship she felt in her first marriage, and describes how appealing she found Richard Helms in contrast.
