 | | Five girls--Eleanor, Alice, Christine, Elfrida, and Dorothy--all born in one ten-month period, were known during their debutante year as the "Magic Five". |
 | | Although the public later came to see Alice and Eleanor as polar opposites, in Donn’s compelling account we learn that they were more similar than people supposed. |
 | | Alice, perceived as beautiful, witty, sophisticated, and dedicated to enjoying herself, was often unhappy and tortured by self-doubt. |
