Review:
"Impressively written in a style that is as graceful and natural as breathing and as observant as that by a 'born writer.'...[Huston] comes of age surrounded by talent, pot, fame and photographers, and tells her tale with unexpected distinction."--Jeff Simon "The Buffalo News (Editor's Choice) "
"Huston's privileged childhood is described with great texture. The enormous estate in Ireland where her family lived is a rambling, magical place. The names that are dropped in this book don't constitute name-dropping, but are simply the names that populated her childhood...[Huston] is a smart and subtle enough writer not to aim for a pop diagnosis, but instead, once again, [goes] for something truer, deeper and richer...[A] stirring memoir."--Meg Wolitzer "NPR "
"Anjelica Huston grew up in what sounds a fairy tale--magically beautiful, yet tinged with loss, sadness, and monsters."--Kate Tuttle "Boston Globe "
"[Huston's] lovely, novelistic writing carries the book....As a storyteller, she's having more fun than a monkey in a lingerie drawer."--Melissa Maerz "Entertainment Weekly "
"Evocative."--Mary Pols "People "
"Lucid, loving, all a memoir should be."--Joan Didion, National Book Award-winning author of The Year of Magical Thinking and Blue Nights
"Compelling, thoughtful, starry reading...What's particularly enjoyable about her story is the rhapsodic way that she beautifully describes that bygone world."--Alexander Larman "Guardian (UK) "
"Elegant and economical."--Helen Brown "Telegraph (UK) "
"A wise, witty, and wonderful autobiography."--Roger Friedman "Showbiz 411 "
"An elegant, funny, and frequently haunting reminiscence of the first two decades of her life...A classic."--Graydon Carter "Vanity Fair "
