The protagonist of Enid Bagnold's novel is the fifty-three-year-old Lady Maclean, said to be based on Lady Diana Cooper. Lady Maclean is 'loved and envied' from a distance. Born at the turn of the century, she and her peers are now entering a second stage of life, when youthful adventures are behind them. The action takes place in London, Jamaica, Scotland and Paris. The final location in Pouilly Forest, mirrors Duff and Diana Cooper's residence in Chantilly. Beaton was a close confidante of both Diana Cooper and Enid Bagnold. He provides the dust jacket illustration for The Loved and Envied, depicting an elegant lady in a theatre box, admired from a distance. less
