"FRANK AND AMUSING.. .[AND] BRIMMING WITH CONFESSIONS... Part career memoir and part meditation on what it's like to be a single woman of lingering glamour, enduring vitality and advancing age... The book has the Bacall voice behind it. Her writing echoes her deep, sardonic, no-nonsense timbre and jazzy tempo....Bacall is at her best when talking about friends she has loved and watched die. Bernstein, she says, was more than a little seductive; Huston, more than a little remote; Olivier, a survivor to the end." -- Chicago Sun-Times. "HER PROSE IS SPARE AND HONEST....A kaleidoscope of thoughts and ideas on loneliness, aging, and above all, surviving...There are also poignant reminiscences of the golden years of Hollywood and many of its leading creators." -- The Washington Post Book World. "SHE REMINDS US OF SOME FAMILIAR TRUTHS WORTH ATTENDING TO…;What she's writing about, Ms. Bacall explains, is 'life' and indeed her musings about getting older, about intimations of mortality, about living solo, about letting go of one's children will resonate with women who, like her, are of a certain age." --The New York Times Book Review..
