Description

The Lamberts: George, Constant and Kit by Andrew Motion is a poignant exploration of three generations of an Australian family. This award-winning biography delves into the lives of George, a renowned painter, his talented son Constant, a composer-conductor, and grandson Kit, who managed The Who. Through meticulous research, Motion sheds light on pivotal moments in English culture, including revivalist painting, classical music, and pop music, which all played a significant role in shaping the Lamberts' story. The result is a compelling narrative that reveals the fragility of fame and the devastating consequences of family dynamics gone awry. A masterful piece of biographical writing, The Lamberts: George, Constant and Kit offers a gripping and thought-provoking read, as Motion skillfully weaves together the threads of his subjects' lives to create a tragic and unforgettable tale.
