Thrumpton Hall : A Memoir of Life in My Father's House

from mumoftheanimals

A brilliantly told memoir of Miranda Seymour's always eccentric and often cruel father who loved his beautiful Jabobean home more than his wife or family. It is a very sad yet funny portrait of a very snobbish, selfish man.

Interesting but unfortunately biased account of her childhood and fault-finding father.

from LeaderElliott

Five stars may seem excessive for what is certainly a minor work. But there are many different scales for measuring merit and I have ranked 'Elegy for an Obsessive Love' at five stars because It is compelling, illuminating and utterly individual in its delineation of the Seymour family.
