Synopsis
Francine du Plessix Gray, writer of fiction and biography, writes a dazzling memoir of her highly unusual family and her unorthodox upbringing. Her mother, Tatiana, was born in Russia, courted by Mayakovsky, and taught to make hats in St. Petersburg. Her father was a French diplomat who was killed in World War II. Her mother's second husband was the dashing Alexander Liberman, who came with Tatiana to New York where she designed hats for Saks Fifth Avenue and he rose to an executive position at Condé Nast. Francine was brought up in an atmosphere of cosmopolitan luxury, émigré melancholy, and a certain amount of neglect--all of which she documents here with elegance, insight, and a soupçon of resentment.

Industry Reviews
"Expanded from a New Yorker article, du Plessix Gray's generous, astute study paints two compelling, Machiavellian personalities....Famous names and juicy stories, served up with literary elegance."
Kirkus (02/15/2005)

"[A] complex and rewarding family memoir....[T]he inside story of the Liberman ménage is more addictive than any Vanity Fair exclusive. Gray is such a fine writer, her family story reads like a novel of early 20th-century bohemianism gone corporate....[T]his memoir stands as an instructive model of how to write a difficult story honestly."
Publishers Weekly (03/07/2005)

"The book is a brisk, bittersweet and ultimately forgiving look at two larger-than-life figures and the shadows they cast."
Time - Lev Grossman (05/23/2005)

"In the end, what proves most riveting about Gray's recollections is not the dual portrait of two outsize individuals but the almost incidental delineation of the dynamic between them--the unspoken contract they entered into as a couple."
New York Times Book Review - Holly Brubach (05/29/2005)
