My First Cousin Once Removed Money, Madness, and the Family of Robert Lowell

Sarah Payne Stuart grew up in a family of aristocratic lineage whose fortune had long ago been dissipated-Robert Lowell''s grandfather had reportedly left his children -their good breeding and Boston heritage'' in his will. This dichotomy of being at once anointed and broke, and the need to keep up appearances at any cost-even when successive generations find themselves locked up in mental wards- form the heart of this memoir, which is at once riotous and moving.
