Six Exceptional Women: Further Memoirs

Commenting upon the nature of friendship, loyalty, patronage, creativity, and moral courage the author explores the lives of Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas, Arletty, Marie-Laure de Noailles, Errieta Perdididi, and Louise Bennett Lord.

Lord is a witty and elegant writer, catching the foibles and virtues of his subjects and chronicling his own succession of lovers with matter-of-fact precision. He is a gentle and literate companion; his book, a deeply affectionate reminiscence of friendships. - Publishers Weekly
