The son of a very wealthy and highly assimilated Jewish woman from Central Europe and a famous English literary intellectual whose homosexuality his wife never allowed herself to admit, David Pryce-Jones, now grown into a distinguished literary intellectual in his own right, has an extraordinary story to tell, and he tells it in endlessly fascinating detail.

One of the most passionate and beguiling books on inheritance since Gosse’s Father and Son. This is a story of a family of almost unimaginable wealth and privilege, of an extraordinary life lived across literary and political worlds, and of a century backlit by war and trauma. It has a candour, a humour and a fierce intelligence that make it a powerful and remarkable book.
