Reviews
"Engrossing, beautifully written . . . but also touching in its candor about the flawed character of a beloved relation." -- Boston Globe
"It is a virtue of this autobiographical biography that it succeeds in evoking the unfathomable nature of a personality." -- New York Review of Books
"Haunting and . . . complex . . . part biography, part memoir, of the woman who happened to be [Honor Moore's] grandmother." -- New York Times Book Review
"Ambitious and searching . . . as rich in casually telling detail as only an authentic family album could be." -- The Nation
