WHY NOT SAY WHAT HAPPENED?(ISBN=9780307267986) 英文原版 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　An astonishing and at times outright comic memoir that marks

the brilliant debut of a writer raised in a creative, bohemian

household characterized by extreme privilege tinged with

neglect.

Born into one of the most celebrated Anglo-Irish families, the

Guinnesses, Ivana Lowell tells a stunning story of coming to terms

with her blue-blood heritage and her own childhood traumas. It is

also the story of her intense relationship with her formidably

intelligent and complicated mother, the writer Caroline Blackwood.

A keen observer with an incisive eye, a wicked sense of humor, and

no self-pity, Lowell sets a wide range of scenes with a truly

unexpected, almost madcap cast of characters, introducing us to

such eccentric figures as her maternal grandmother, Maureen, the

Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava. She takes us from the

marchioness’s annual ball for her idol and old friend, the Queen

Mother, to Maureen’s stately Irish home, Clandeboye (where the

marchioness hopes to die), to summers in Dufferin’s villa in

Sardinia; through moves to carelessly furnished, drafty, too-large

English country houses with her mother and stepfather, the poet

Robert Lowell; to working in Manhattan at Miramax Books for Harvey

Weinstein and a trip with his brother, Bob, to the Academy Awards;

to her wedding at New York’s Rainbow Room and finally to a life

with her daughter. Ivana also has darker stories to tell including

her own stints in rehab, and discovering, after her mother’s death,

the secret Lady Caroline had successfully kept from her.

Why Not Say What Happened? introduces a dazzling new literary

voice and the fascinating story of a tragic and remarkable

family.
