The Mad Boy, Lord Berners, My Grandmother And Me by Sofka Zinovieff

The Mad Boy, Lord Berners, My Grandmother And Me by Sofka Zinovieff

Eight years later, to her astonishment, Robert told her he was leaving her Faringdon House. Her book about Faringdon and its people is marvellously witty and full of insight, bringing to life a vanished world and the almost fantastical people who lived in it.

As classy and consuming a memoir as you’re likely to read all autumn-- Caroline Sanderson * Bookseller *

Sumptuous. -- Daisy Goodwin * Sunday Times *
A vivid sketch of the extraordinarily glamourous society of Faringdon in its heyday, especially during the 30s. -- Dinah Birch * Guardian *
Zinovieff is an entertaining and amiable companion on this, at times, uncomfortable romp through her family saga. -- Sara Wheeler * The Times *
