The Amazing Life and Loves of Lady Marjorie Fetter Goossens: and startling revelations on the scandal that destroyed the magnificent career of Sir Eug - Paperback

by Glenn N. Holliman (Author), Barbara Long Holliman (Author)

Lady Marjorie Fetter Goossens with her third husband had it all - wealth, fame and status as wife of Australia's world famous composer and classical conductor, Eugene Goossens III. Amazingly, she threw it away to sail off with a penniless Polish aristocrat, Zygmunt Michalowski, later a director of Radio Free Europe. Goossens, knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, self-destructed due to his own affair with a 'witch', a sex scandal that fascinates to this day.

Marjorie's story includes the sanctuary she later provided a German countess, the distressed mistress of her former lover Zygmunt. After decades of travel and love affairs, she forsook her ancestral home in rural Pennsylvania and found solace in France. Her 20th century search for meaning and love spans the advent of the automobile to the Jet Age.
