Description
Upper Bohemia A Memoir by Hayden Herrera is a poignant coming-of-age story set against the vibrant backdrop of 1950s New York, Cape Cod, and Mexico. Born to artistic parents who prioritised their own desires over family responsibilities, Herrera's childhood was marked by both idyllic moments and profound pain. As the daughter of bohemian parents, Herrera's early years were shaped by a world of art, music, and literature, where adults like Max Ernst, Edmund Wilson, and Peggy Guggenheim formed a community that valued beauty above all else. However, this environment also meant that her childhood was often unpredictable and unstable, with frequent moves from one home to another. This memoir is a heart-wrenching exploration of the tension between excitement and sadness, as Herrera navigates the complexities of growing up in a world where family stability was not guaranteed.
