Review
Personal History reads like a good novel: a woman survives a wealthy childhood not without its problems, outlives a marriage that goes disastrously wrong then takes over the family business and not only makes it a success, but influences American history as well. Best of all, it's true. This large memoir (625 pages) by Katharine Graham, publisher of the Washington Post and undoubtedly one of the most powerful women of her time, is an extraordinary American story.
Review
"Riveting, moving . . . a wonderful book." --Nora Ephron, The New York Times Book Review
"Disarmingly candid and immensely readable." --Time "Captivating . . . distinguished by a level ofintrospection that ought to be, but rarely is, the touchstone of autobiography." --Newsday
