Thinking back on it later, the summer of 1939 was the last “normal” summer Alexandra Wickham remembered.
It had been five years since her celebrated fírst London “Season” at eighteen, an event her parents had anticipated with excite-ment and expectation since she was a little girl. She had looked forward to it as the experience of a lifetime, a defining moment when she would be presented at court with all the other daughters of aristocratic families. It was her official entry into society, and since 1780 when the fírst Queen Char-lotte’s Ball was held by King George III to honor his wife, the purpose of “coming out” and being presented had been to allow aristocratic young ladies to catch the eye of future husbands.
