Out of these documents, Sophie Freud has created a many-voiced mosaic, including letters and insights from a wide cast of characters who tell the story of a famous family-and of a century. This work gives an insider's, in-law view of the family Freud, its foundations, and flaws.
She has woven into the text more than 50 letters she inherited after Esti died, including six previously unpublished letters from Sigmund, as well as her own views and recollections of events, her own diary, thoughts and insights from other Freud family members and in-laws. The resulting mosaic will fascinate - and perhaps disturb - all readers interested in Freud and psychoanalysis, as well as relationships and family.
