The House In France : A Memoir
by Gully Wells

I'm so glad that I didn't have to pay for this book and took it out of the library. What a bunch of drivel.
The author writes about her mother, Dee Wells, who was an American journalist and her stepfather, A. J. Ayer, an Oxford philosopher and their glamorous life. They lived in France, London, and New York. As I did not get too far (only fifty pages), what I read was enough to totally turn me off. There's way too much name-dropping, the writing is rambling and nothing is of any substance.
Not recommended.
