One on my favorites
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I reread this book every couple of years. I never tire of the story with its history, gossip, and indefatigable humor. It's a biography and a personal account of a relationship between a young man and his boss -- an old woman, who just happens to be one of the greatest industrialists of the twentieth century and an extraordinary character. The more you know of the period and its personalities: Picasso, Dior, Arden, Snow, the more you'll enjoy this book. It's pure fun.
Rubinstein made immortal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Patrick O'higgins has truly made the Madame immortal. I am saddened that this book is not being republished. It is a beautiful and exciting story of a dynamo woman replete with all of her mannerisms and ways and torrents of actual words and comings and goings and who just seemed to be in charge of the whole friggin universe. Although she died in 1965, I would call it page by page absorbing and interesting.I would think that women would still flock to be in line to buy it. Mr O'higgins wrote this completely exposé yarn for all readers thou perhaps mainly for the weaker sex. Written in '68 - '70; Madame passed at the age of 95.
