Set in Provence, London, and NY, this is a daughter's wonderfully evocative and witty memoir of her mom and stepfather-Dee Wells, the gorgeous and rebellious American journalist, and A. J. Ayer, the celebrated and worldly Oxford philosopher-and the life they resided at the center of absolutely everything.Gully Wells needs us in to the heart of London's liberated intellectual inner group of the 1960s. Listed below are Alan Bennett, Isaiah Berlin, Iris Murdoch, Bertrand Russell, Jonathan Miller, Martin Amis, Christopher Hitchens, Robert Kennedy, and later in NY, Mayor Lindsay and Mike Tyson, her mom as a television set commentator generating a reputation for her outspoken style and progressive views, her stepfather-an icon in the wonderful world of twentieth-century philosophy-proving himself as prodigious a womanizer as he was a thinker. And throughout, you can find La Migoua, the home in France, over a hill between Toulon and Marseilles, where her parents and their friends arrived mutually and where Gully herself learned a few of the long-lasting lessons of an life well resided.That is a dazzling family portrait of a female who "caught the spirit of the sixties" and one of the most important intellectual figures of the 20th hundred years, attracted from the stunning memory of the kid who adored them both.
