Rezensionen
Not my favorite memoir. One perspective, tightly focused, told with little passion.
I don't remember what led me to this, but it was a perfect fit for the reading window I had today. It's a little self-indulgent, but deliciously name-droppy. There's some fine, therapy-earned insights into her failing relationship with her husband, but I was less interested in the build-up to divorce than I was in the gorgeous descriptions of Greenwich Village in the 50s and 60s and the insider view of the magazine business back then.
Mary is a strange one. But her love of New York and the Village kept me going. How lucky to be in NYC in the 60s.

Over her life was a sense of loss at her father's early death. Depression....two children...meeting Big Names...and the gradual failing of a marriage. The magic of New York, which is ever present..the awareness of the gulf between a working mother and her children, living so much of their lives under the care of othes..
Just beautiful. Resounds with me, looking bac,k age 60, on early "married life" where we thought we knew it all...
Googled the characters when I finished (they become so real) and sad to see not only are both parents deceased but also the younger daughter....
Just a lovely read… (mehr)
