Description
Have You Been Good? A Memoir is a powerful and meditative account of Vanessa Nicolson's disjointed childhood and reckless youth. Born into an illustrious name, Vanessa recounts her unhappy marriage to her father, the art historian Ben Nicolson, who was homosexual, and her experiences growing up in a liberal English boarding school.
Interwoven with Vanessa's story is that of her daughter Rosa, who died at 19. This book is a meditation on the threads of love and loss that weave through a life, exploring the meaning of cultural privilege in the context of emotional deprivation.
A deeply personal and thought-provoking memoir, Have You Been Good? A Memoir offers a unique perspective on family, identity, and the complexities of human relationships.
