Críticas

Some of My Lives: A Scrapbook Memoir por Rosamond Bernier

This seemed very slight at first but the more I read, the more I enjoyed, especially the chapters about the artists she knew. I loved the chapter about visting Julia Morisot, Berthe Morisot's daughter in Paris. Very poignant. Plus, the last three chapters are taken from longer essays or exhibit catalogs and the writing is very fine indeed.
