Reviews

"This book is gossip taken to the highest, cosmic level, a social movement explained in terms of trivial detail that makes everything 'real.'"
Washington Post
"Reading Meade's book is like looking at a photo album while listening to a witty insider reminisce about the images. Her writing is bright, her language charged with gritty details…Instead of portraying them as austere literary figures, Meade makes the women seem like part of the family."
San Francisco Chronicle
"An extraordinarily intriguing production, beautifully read by Lorna Raver…Raver's sensitivity and insight into four very different artistic women broadens our knowledge and understanding of them."
