"Imagine an
eleven year old girl from a prosperous,
established American family, trained in writing
and literary expression by the best private
schools and home tutors that money could buy at
the time. Now imagine that young girl pouring
her heart out dutifully, every day, for one full
year, upon the pages of a private diary she
never imagined would ever be read by anyone
(except possibly her own mother). Now have the
setting be the rarefied salons, exclusive clubs,
and theatres of New York City and beaches of the
Hamptons, during the pivotal, historical year of
1929, and you’ve got the ingredients for a
compelling story, most would agree. Now,
finally, imagine that this eleven year old girl
is none other than Little Edie Beale, of Grey
Gardens fame. This is what you are now holding
in your hands."
