"The Amazing Life and Loves of Lady Marjorie Fetter Goossens" -- Authors Glenn & Barbara Long Holliman on the Sunbury Press Books Show

April 19, 2025

Lady Marjorie Fetter Goossens would likely agree she lived a varied life, but that would be putting it mildly. Through her writings, the historical records, photographs and memories, authors Glenn and Barbara Long Holliman have traced The Amazing Life and Loves of Lady Marjorie Fetter Goossens: and the Scandal that Destroyed the Magnificent Career of Sir Eugene Goossens III" in this new work on Sunbury Press Books.

The Lady's life is broken down into phases, as she traveled the world, made her way through society, and weathered the scandal that brought down her composer husband. Lady Marjorie also gave much away, to fall in love with a penniless Polish aristocrat, to come back home to her native Pennsylvania and provide sanctuary to a most unlikely candidate.

Glenn and Barbara Long Holliman speak of Lady Marjorie's life and the information they uncovered in their research. A part of her history can be found in Perry County, Pennsylvania, at the famous Fetter House and this fascinating work may be found here.
