Lady Rose, l'insulaire
Dorothy Carrington arrived in Corsica in 1948 to visit a friend. She would never leave. The love story between her and “her” island would end 50 years later with the death of the woman islanders called “Lady Rose.” Dorothy Carrington lived the romantic life of a young Englishwoman in love with adventure and exoticism. In conservative interwar England, she quickly took her distance with her aristocratic background, attended university, became a model, ran a farm in Africa, then plunged into the artistic and cultural ferment of post-war Paris. Her three husbands where more fellow travelers than true lovers. Her only real passion seems to have been Corsica, which she described in her controversial autobiography as a picturesque land of the imagination.
