Barbara was also artistic, she wrote, drew, & painted throughout her life & was friends with some of the most well-known names of the time (continued)

This was a well-written & meticulously researched book, & there's a lot of information packed within these pages but I found it a bit of a struggle to wade through at times. I'm not entirely sure why. I did find it worth reading though as it introduced me to names I had never heard of before (& I spent a bit of time looking them up), 3mo
My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Random House UK/Transworld Publishers/Doubleday, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
