review 1: A light and breezy account of a woman who was probably more interesting than the book allows. She certainly knew many of the interesting and influential people of her time - and we learn that she had dinner with many of them, but we don't learn very much about what they talked about. And we learn that her personal life seemed sad on many levels because of the seemingly poor choices she made about her life partners. We also learn that her own accomplishments, other than being a highly successful hostess for her husbands, really began once she was on her own. A life both sad and interesting on many levels.
review 2: What a life she led!! Wealth, privilege, travel, politics....she really did have it all. At least it looked as if she did. I thought this book was fa... morescinating and well-written, it was translated from French and was very well done. I did think the first part of her life was better covered than the second and I wish there were more pictures. I always think biographies should have lots and LOTS of pictures. Other than that I really liked this book and could not put it down. less
