My Life at Grey Gardens: 13 Months and Beyond Tekijä: Lois Wright
A must read for any fan of the Edies Beale or Gray Gardens. Told from the point of view of their close friend and fellow artist when she was their houseguest, this book is a lovely look at the Beales' life at their famous home without the cameras rolling.
I tried to get into the whole Beale thing, but I don't find them interesting as much as kind of pathetic. Oh, well.
This tremendously quick read describes life at the East Hampton residence of Edith Beale, aunt of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and her daughter, Little Edie. Lois Wright was a friend and moved into the house for a period of thirteen months. The book is written in a journal style and is quite easy to read. I would recommend seeing the Grey Gardens film first before reading; that way you can hear their voices as you read. Wright does a wonderful job in capturing the essence of the Beales.
I take away one star for typos as well as sentence structure. In the introduction, Wright tells us that she went back later and added things to her journal, and this shows. The "tense" of some of the sentences doesn't match.
That aside, this was a humorous read. Any fan of Grey Gardens and the Beales should add this to their collection!… (lisätietoja)

It took me the whole book to figure out why in the name of God Lois Wright would stay at Grey Gardens.
Then it hit me. It was the Edies. Plain and simple.
