| Summary |
""Having left this material for his writer son, my father must have wanted the story told, even if he couldn't bear to tell it himself." Life at the heart of the narrative is a multi-generational succession battle. It's a tale of family secrets and Swiss bank accounts, of half-truths, of hatred and passion--and lots and lots of liquor. The Seabrooks' colorful legal and moral failings took place amid the trappings of extraordinary privilege. But the story of where that money came from is not so pretty"-- |
