“Merging memory and love, Sophie Freud has chronicled the struggles of her famous family and its stern patriarch in an affecting memoir of searing power and poignancy….[a] domestic saga that is a valuable document of our times….As if weaving a tapestry, she examines the Freud family legacy by stitching together memories of others, their letters, diaries and even obituaries….The effect is mesmerizing, even Proustian. Instead of writing a memoir that observes history from a single fixed perspective, Freud pulls her readers into her extended family’s kaleidoscope lives over decades of personal drama and international conflict..” —The Daily News
“What is in fact most compelling about this book is the sublime honesty of Sophie Freud herself. One feels her pride and her suffering as a scion of psychoanalytic aristocracy.” —Charles B. Strozier, Professor of History, John Jay College and the Graduate Center, CUNY
