Join us for a lively discussion between Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop '70 and writing faculty member Heather Harpham on Elizabeth's memoir, Daughter of Spies: Wartime Secrets, Family Lies. As a child, Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop was raised to revere the tribal legends of the Alsop and Roosevelt families. Her parents were Stewart Alsop, a restlessly ambitious journalist and political analyst who grew increasingly famous, and Patricia Alsop, a strict Catholic trained to keep secrets as a decoding agent with MI5. In this memoir, Elizabeth explores who her mother was, why alcohol played such an important role in her mother's life, and why her mother held herself apart from all her children, especially her only daughter. In her journey to understand her parents, particularly her mother, she comes to realize that the secrets parents keep are the ones that reverberate most powerfully in the lives of their children. Elizabeth Winthrop Alsop '70 is the author of more than 60 works of fiction for all ages. She is the winner of the Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, the Pen Syndicated Fiction Award. A zoom link will be sent to registrants 24 hours before the event.
