Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
As "the last Tiffany," Dorothy Burlingham had a tradition to uphold. But instead of following her entrepreneurial grandfather into the jewelry business or her father into stained glass design, she chose a different path, leaving her husband, taking the children, and moving to Vienna where she became a friend and disciple of Sigmund Freud and lifelong companion to his daughter, Anna. Writing as much about the period as about his grandmother, Michael Burlingham name-drops more than is necessary, yet gives a lively and detailed account of his family's rise to wealth and influence. In addition, he furnishes valuable insights into the early days of psychoanalysis and Dorothy's career in the field, pointing to its successes and failures, especially in his own family.

From The New Yorker
This book is a success. The author, who is Dorothy's grandson, imparts suspense along with information, illuminates history, and involves us in questions about human relations which Dorothy, like all of us, could not answer...I suspect that each reader, depending on his or her experience, will respond differently to Dorothy and her family, yet Burlingham's research, insight, and honesty guarantee that each reader will respond intensely: we can no more escape his family than our own.
