Through the eyes of a daughter
Part personal memoir, part elegy. Alexandra Styron was raised in Connecticut and on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, where her family led an incredibly colorful and vibrant social life, which included famous writers, presidents of states, and great artists. She grew up in the shadow of both her father’s greatness, fame, and popularity, and the fears and anxieties that were born in his tormented mind. William Styron, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and essayist, was a fascinating and difficult man at once; in his deeply personal memoir, Darkness Visible, he described in a shocking way his struggles with severe depression. Through the Eyes of a Daughter is a story about a father, about love, and about growing up, written beautifully, with humor, empathy, and grace.
