This beguiling tale of a scandalous mnage trois among Englands upper classes is a high society love story that combines memoir and biography into a fascinating, heady read in the vein of The Bolter and Portrait of a Marriage.Among the glittering stars of British society, Sofka Zinovieffs grandparents lived and loved with abandon. Robert HeberPercy was a dashing young man who would rather have a drink than open a book, so his involvement with Jennifer Fry, a beautiful socialite famous for her style and charm, was not surprising. But by the time Robert met and married Jennifer, he had already been involved with a manGerald, Lord Bernersfor more than a decade.Stout, eccentric, and significantly older, Gerald was a wellknown composer, and at home among scholars. He also owned one of Britains loveliest stately homes, Faringdon House in Oxfordshire. The two made an unlikely couple, especially because they lived together at Faringdon House when homosexuality was illegal. And then a pregnant Jennifer moved into Faringdon in 1942, creating a formidable mnage trois.In this gorgeous, entertaining narrative of bohemian aristocracy illustrated with dozens of photographs, Sofka Zinovieff probes the mysteries of her grandparents and the third man in their marriage. Who was Gerald, and what brought Robert and Jennifer together under his roof? Why did Jennifer marry Robert? Piecing together the complicated reality behind the scandals of revelry and sexuality, she finally allows old ghosts to rest.

The book has its moments of brilliance, especially the tales of scandals. But some parts felt a bit slow to me. Still, I found it an interesting dive into a unique family legacy, just wish it was a bit more concise.

A Fascinating Read!
I really enjoyed 'My Grandmother and Me'. The stories about aristocratic life are captivating, and Lord Berners' wit shines through every page. It’s not just a family history; it’s a reflection on high society that kept me intrigued from start to finish!

Loved the Family Dynamics!
As a fan of historical biographies, I found this book delightful. Lord Berners’ life is fascinating, and the anecdotes about his grandmother really brought that era to life. I will definitely keep it in my collection!

Disappointing Quality
I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with some pages crumpled and the cover was slightly bent. I know it’s a good story, but the physical quality really took away from my reading experience. Just not what I expected.
