A memoir of family lost and found, and what a family! At the age of 4, Allegra Huston's mother was killed and she was brought up by her father, film director John Huston, within his extraordinary Hollywood milieu. Then at the age of 12, she discovered that in fact, she was the child of John Julius Norwich. A memoir which gives insight into a legendary American family, and which explores the conflicting loyalties and uncertain legacy of a mother she never knew.
