Description
In this widely praised follow-up to her National Book Award-winning first volume of memoirs, An Unfinished Woman, the legendary playwright Lillian Hellman looks back at some of the people who, wittingly or unwittingly, exerted profound influence on her development as a woman and a writer. The portraits include Hellman's recollection of a lifelong friendship that began in childhood, reminiscences that formed the basis of the Academy Award-winning film Julia.

This is, by far, one of the best written books I've ever read. It's about family and friends, both of which are probably quite different than your own...don't let that put you off. It's live accounts of times we probably all wish we'd been able to enjoy ourselves, and of some that we'd probably like to forget. It's funny and lively and thoughtful and one of my very favorite books. I've read it twice, once in my 20's and again in my 50's, and it's only gotten better. Just read it.
