I'm about halfway through the book, but I was surprised to find out that there is a lot TO this famous woman besides her indulgences in the privileges (and travails) that go with having tons of money. She was bright, imaginative and an astute observer. A big part of the book is based on journals that she kept throughout her life, and her accounts are detailed, well-written, and hugely interesting - they provide a great commentary on the culture and the times that she lived in. And she is much more forthright about the details of her intimate relationships than I ever would have expected. She was certainly no prude! The book also includes nice photos of some of the significant people in her life - some of them. As you know, there were so many!
