    Many questions answered, still holes to be filled
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 26, 2022*

Good for background and basic story. How did her many kids feel about their mom who abandoned them? Seemingly she preferred life in the fast lane in New York City to the life of an aristocratic mother with endless wealth and access to jet setting power brokers with whom the Rothschilds associated.So many questions still remain in my mind about her status as a New Jersey cat lady. Hoarding cats immediately calls into question her state of mind. And that in turn opens a whole level of suspicion about her mental health as it relates to her deep dive into the jazz world.  After all, she could have conceivably continued her life as British aristocrat --- perhaps with a wing of her estate filled with jazz LPs and giving occasional invitation only soirees with live performances by Thelonious Monk and others. Instead she went "slumming".This book is a good foundation. Also, Hannah Rothschild's documentary for the BBC is on YouTube. Outstanding! It pairs wonderfully with this book.

    100 years in a day
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2012*

My interest in music is extremely eclectic and my interest in Thelonius Monk has happened slowly over the last decade. I am ambiguous about labelling Monk a genius but acknowledge his importance in the evolution of music (jazz if you must apply a label)So the main reason for buying the book was to learn more about Monk and the music that he composed, played and also influenced  in the  period of the 1940's and 1950's.What I experienced in the reading was much more than an insight into Monk and that period.The majority of the book focuses on the period from the mid 19th century to the mid 20th century.The succinct history of the Rothschild Empire is mixed with the landscape of Europe, United Kingdom, America and other countries impacted by in particular  the great wars.Overlaying this is the evolution of Jazz music set in context of the era and the geography.It is not limited to but flows from Louis Armstrong through Duke Ellington onto Monk, Miles and Bird.Yet whilst it is an excellent historical summary on many levels it also is an emotionally engaging read.I connected with Nica and her family and the musicians - the connections with Nica and the musicicains  was more often than not uncomfortable.The connection however was raw and real.I came away with an ambivalent feeling about Nica - suspended with feelings of admiration,empathy and frustration but still wanting to know more.Highly recommended

    A Rich Historical and Contemporary Legacy of the Rothschild Family Through the Eyes of One Young Woman's Rebellion!
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2016*

Hannah Rothschild perhaps, at times, feels impaired by her own Rothschild legacy, but, she is an amazing talent!  -A friend of mine was in London and purchased a more recent book by Ms Rothschild,  "The Improbability of Love".  Had I seen this paperback at my local Barnes & Nobles I would not picked it up because the cover makes it appear to be a trashy modern romance.  But that little paperback was simply delightful embracing the art world through one historical painting, and capturing the contemporary London scene.  I was so enthused that I searched for other books by this author (whom I'd never heard of).  Thus I found "The Search for Nica".  After reading it, I am totally in awe of Ms Rothschild's talent!  I'm sure it was cathartic for Ms Rothschild to trace her own family history through her great-aunt's life, but, she did it beautifully and in a balanced way. I'm grateful that she took the enormous time  to do the interviews and documents research, and I am deeply grateful that she allowed the book to go to print.  It allows us to understand the richness and tragedy of one person's life.  --  Thank you Ms Rothschild.  Please write more;  you have a wonderful gift.
