01/12/2010 7:00 pm
"An insider's
guide to the vanishing world of blueblood Boston...she limns the
pleasures and perils of adoring a parent who was as colorful and
elusive as a butterfly"
"An
insightful, engaging memoir of...a brilliant biochemist and a member of
the 'Oppenheimer Fraternity,' a group of men and women who contributed
so much to the advancement of science in the 20th century."
Growing up in a Boston blueblood family,
Anne Cabot Wyman had adventures that extended far beyond New England.
After losing her mother at age 13, Anne was raised from a distance by a
father who instilled in her a passion for the road less traveled. An
accomplished painter and a licensed pilot, she spent 30 years as a
writer at the Boston Globe, including 5 years as the paper's first
in-house travel writer and 10 years on the editorial page, much of it
during Boston's tumultuous battle over school busing.
