Editorial Reviews

Review

Holtz's "introductory remarks to each section of the book are gracefully done. . . . Two vibrant personalities emerge." Thompson and Lane's "extraordinary conversation, begun on a walking tour of the Loire valley, continues in letters throughout their lives."--New York Times Book Review

"Holtz . . . proves that carefully compiled, painstakingly edited correspondence, even between two women who are not exactly household names, can be instructive, fascinating, disturbing and delightful."--History: Reviews of Books
