Love Child by Allegra Huston
A moving and enchanting memoir told from within one of America's great Hollywood dynasties by the daughter of two famous men - John Huston and John Julius Norwich
'This extraordinary book reveals the all but unendurable sorrow of loss, and the difficulties of those unwilling to live in a world without loveBecause Huston's concerns are with what she has seen and learned, rather than with alienation and the affixing of blame, her memoir glimmers with triumphant wisdom' Susanna Moore 'A fascinating and profoundly moving exploration of family secrets. Poignant, inspiring and beautifully written, an intriguing first-hand account of growing up inside a world the rest of us can only read about' Joanna Briscoe 'A touching glimpse of the pain and longing felt by a child who doesn't quite belong to anyone, this unsentimental journey through the star-studded vacuum of her various families is unexpectedly tender and forgiving. She writes with an artist's eye for detail, with the clear gaze of a small outsider, searching forever for love' Joanna Lumley
