And the world of her mother, daughter of a wealthy, sophisticated and very numerous Jewish family in Vienna, who had married against their wishes.The marriage was catastrophic. Torn between a loving but alcoholic father, and a close but distinctly un-maternal mother, Eve's childhood is spent shuttling between England and Austria.In England she lives the privileged, outwardly happy life of a typical schoolgirl of the time, set against the backdrop of her parents' turbulent and irreparably broken marriage.
