Reviews
"Utterly absorbing." -- Elle , A "Must-Read Book" "Rothschild pushes aside the smoke, the scandal, and the pearls to present a fair portrait of her compulsive, elusive ancestress." -- The Daily Beast "Rothschild has fun evoking the fizz of Nica's New York." -- The New Yorker "An eminently readable, well researched biography--one third a history of the Rothschild family, one third a portrait of Nica and one third a biography of Monk." -- The Sunday Times (London) "A more rounded portrait of Nica than any published before." -- The Week "Hannah tells this story with care, balancing narrative tension with a desire to lay out all the facts so readers can make up their own minds. . . . Wholly gripping." -- The Guardian "An enjoyable, madcap read about a woman who once raced Miles Davis in a car ... and played a part in nurturing a generation of struggling musicians." -- The Herald-Sun (Durham, NC) "Smoky, seductive, smart, and full of both beautiful and sad family lore." -- Interview Magazine "Rothschild blends biography and personal history to uncover an enigma who had all but vanished from the family annals." -- Town and Country "At first glance Thelonious (Monk) and Pannonica (Rothschild) might seem to have nothing in common. Yet as Hannah Rothschild shows in this tender memoir, the symmetries of their lives ran far deeper." -- Mail on Sunday (London) "[A] remarkable . . . sophisticated recounting of [the Rothschilds'] riveting history." -- WWD "An eminently readable, well researched biography--one third a history of the Rothschild family, one third a portrait of Nica and one third a biography of Monk.

Rothschild's work covers the unique perspective of a family member whose quest to comprehend the essence of her fascinating yet controversial great-aunt is illuminating . . . .

Synopsis
Beautiful and spirited, Pannonica Rothschild, known as Nica, was born in 1913 to eccentric privilege and a storied family history. After marrying well, she settled into a French chateau to bear children and support her husband's war career. But when Nica heard "Round Midnight" by jazz composer Thelonious Monk, everything changed. She abandoned her marriage, found Monk in New York, and devoted herself to him and to other musicians, becoming the unsung philanthropist of the city's Jazz scene. Hannah Rothschild has given twenty years to the quest of revealing who her great-aunt really was. Drawing on unpublished archival material, private family records and her own interviews, she has produced a fascinating portrait--part musical odyssey, part love story--that showcases a woman ahead of her time who dared to live as she wanted.
