Wilmers takes a look at her ancestors, the Eitingon family, and the part they played in the secret dramas of the 20th century. From a KGB killer to a psychoanalyst and a New York fur dealer, she examines a range of remarkable Eitingon.
Synopsis
The author began looking into aspects of her remarkable family twenty years ago. This book is based on her search, which throws light into some of the darkest corners of the last century. At the centre of the story stands the author herself - wondering not only about where she is from, but about what she's entitled to know.
