Mr. Maxwell’s political career was ending, and he would face the loss of his publishing company,
a contentious takeover battle, and legal investigations that would blight the family for the next
seven years and permanently damage his reputation. The 1970s were difficult and demanding years
for the family, marred by Mr. Maxwell’s endless battle of lawsuits and financial ruin. Despite the
family chaos, Ghislaine thrived in boarding school, away from the whirlwind of emotional turmoil
caused by the relentless demands of her father, which continued until his death in 1991.

On Her Own
Robert Maxwell demanded much of his children and informed them that they needed to
keep industrious as they would not be receiving any inheritance. Hardworking, entrepreneurial,
and resourceful, Ghislaine excelled academically and occupationally. Between finishing her A
Levels at Marlborough College and attending Oxford University, she spent a year in Spain teaching
English, then selling books for her father’s publishing company in France. She began her first
romance, only to have the relationship quashed by her father’s disapproval of her engagement. A
family reconciliation coinciding with Ghislaine’s 20th birthday devolved into a miserable
Christmas. Mr. Maxwell was at his absolute worst, making Ghislaine the scapegoat du jour. The
holiday ended with an announcement that her parents were separating.
