SynopsisEdith Bouvier Beale and her daughter Edie, known as Big Edie and Little Edie, were the aunt and cousin of former U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. They led an unconventional existence in Grey Gardens, a mansion in East Hampton. Their home was surrounded by overgrown gardens, and filled with fleas, cats, raccoons, and old cans and rubbish. In 1976, the release of a documentary film also called 'Grey Gardens' highlighted their unique lives among the East Hampton elite, and introduced the Beales to their cult fan following. In 1975, Lois Wright, a fellow artist and dear friend of the Beales, was invited to live with them in Grey Gardens. Wright kept a journal of her thirteen months with the Beales, and using those logs, has developed this book. 'My Life at Grey Gardens' offers the reader an intimate look at the daily lives of the Beales, and chronicles the events from Lois's arrival at the house through the passing of Big Edith Bouvier Beale in 1977.

  • Good book.

    This is a simple book, written in Lois Wright's words of the events that took place over a year's time at Grey Gardens with the two Edies. I have seen the movie and have read a lot about the Beales' lives. I did learn a few new things.

  • Review of Lois Wrights book, my life at Grey Gardens: 13 Months and Beyond.

    I love Grey Gardens and everything to do with Edith and Edie Beale. Lois Wright brought an intimate knowledge of the everyday comings and goings associated with this mysterious place and the habitants. The book will bring these two fascinating women alive again for a brief moment. If you are a Grey Gardens fan, this is a must read.

  • Don't bother

    Not a good book. Diary format. She leaves out all presence of Jerry, so she must not have liked him. I see her as an opportunist following the documentary, trying to make a buck off the Beales.
