"A frank and, at times, comic account of growing up amid extreme privilege and eccentric personalities." --Vanity Fair
"A riveting history of a family that folds in on itself, consuming generation after generation. . . . Lowell's compact, finely tuned paragraphs render the saga with brave urgency and courage." --Elle "Lowell movingly shows how a child's love can transcend a parent's flaws. Her empathy with her mother may be her greatest gift." --The New York Times Book Review "For a woman whose legacy carries an enormous fortune, a family tree cluttered with renown, and unparalleled eccentricity, Ivana Lowell is shockingly all right. . . . An impeccable memoir." --The Daily Beast "Ivana Lowell's memoir is a heart-breaking account of a gifted woman, her brilliant but destructive parents, and a glamorous, aristocratic life that was laced with arsenic. That she survived and now shines as literary force in her own right is apparent from the very first page. Why Not Say What Happened? is a tour de force." --Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire "Compelling. . . . Careless hardly covers the reckless disregard with which these people treated those they supposedly loved." --The Boston Globe "Lowell takes her spot in the pantheon of modern-day heiresses with this memoir about her unbelievable life." --More "Will no doubt raise eyebrows. Lowell spares few details in recounting her dysfunctional childhood, which was spent in grand houses and fancy apartments, where the family lived more like hillbillies than titled Brits." --W"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Born into one of the most celebrated Anglo-Irish families, the Guinnesses, Ivana Lowell grew up at the whim of two literary heavyweightsher mother, writer Lady Caroline Blackwood, and stepfather, poet Robert Lowell. Now, with an incisive eye and a wicked sense of humor, she shares the stories weve always wanted to hear. She tells of following the famous authors from one crumbling, drafty country house to another, and of summers spent with madcap relatives such as her maternal grandmother, the Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, and her old friend, the Queen Mother. But Ivana also has darker stories to tell: about her childhood accident, about her own stints in rehab, and, finally, about discovering the secret Lady Caroline had successfully kept from Ivana her entire life.
