Editorial Reviews

'Required reading' Vogue

'This vivid account pops with fascinating detail and reads like fiction. Wonderfully, it isn't' Elle

'The lively prose brings life to Rubinstein’s “impossible character,” tyrannical and tender by turns, and appeals to readers’ taste for scandal without turning its subject into a caricature' Publisher's Weekly
