Overview
From the acclaimed author of The Kiss comes a gorgeous, poignant account of her childhood in her grandparents' Tudor house above Sunset Boulevard, which contained the fascinating secret world of their family history--one that spanned continents, dynasties, and cultures.
Kathryn Harrison was largely raised by her grandparents in an outsized Tudor confection of a house on the periphery of Bel Air, which she thought of as "Sunset:" her kingdom of the imagination, inhabited by the past and its numberless artifacts. True wandering Jews, her grandparents had arrived in Los Angeles in the 40s after leading dramatic, globetrotting lives. Harry Jacobs had been a fur trapper in Alaska, a soldier in the trenches of the Great War, a traveling salesman in a Model T. Margaret Sassoon had lived a privileged life as a member of a Jewish merchant family in Shanghai, turning down offers of marriage from Russian princes exiled by the Revolution. Kathryn grew up in an almost mythical realm of their letters and artifacts and stories--until declining finances forced the family to sell the house on Sunset in 1971, and night fell fast. On Sunset seeks to recover that childhood, that place, those lives -- and does so with piercing poignancy.
