The memoirs were written in 1979 in the United States. Esti Freud was the first born daughter of a Viennese Jewish lawyer. Her mother was a passionate singer whose career was prevented by her early marriage. Childhood memories and recollection of summer vacations. Confusion of religious identity due to her pious Catholic nanny. Private tutoring and attending "Schwarzwaldschule", a highly esteemed girl's school.
