review 1: A big thanks to Chris Greenhalgh and Co. for sending this FirstReads copy my way. From a film buff's POV, this was certainly a welcome addition to golden age Hollywood lore, and I'd be delighted to find out it was more truth than conjecture. Even so, this one reads like a movie and I'm not surprised it'll be adapted in short order. Romance may not be my genre of choice, but this one was one for the ages and if it could manage to squeeze some feeling from this cynical stone cold bastard, then it surely works. I look forward to seeing the movie when it does come out, and I'm sure the book will find its audience as well. My father always comes by and borrows from my shelves. Well as of yesterday, and on my recommendation, this was his most recent Sunday steal. Thank yo... moreu, GoodReads and best of luck, Mr. Greenhalgh. We'll have to look into your previous novels, and do keep em coming. Bravo.
review 2: I enjoyed the novel because I have always been intrigued by Bergman's affair with Capa. By having Capa narrate his own story and having Bergman's story told in third person, Capa comes out as the more interesting character. From all the accounts of Bergman's life, she seems more complex than this version. I realise that this is a novel but it is interesting to look at the psyche of talented women who allow themselves to be dominated by others. Nonetheless as a novel and as a 'version' of their story - I enjoyed it. less
