You just don't get the feel of this extraordinary, unusual and unique play of Mary McCarthy and Lillian Hellman - two rival authors during the communist scare - from reading it. I was given the pleasure of seeing this incredible play starring Cherry Jones and Swoozie Kurts in its Broadway run. When the two authors meet in the afterlife, they tell their audience about their lives, beginning with their cleverly told childhoods and slowly moving forward to McCarthy's accusation of being a Communist and ending with Hellman's death before the trial was set by Hellman and McCarthy to discuss McCarthy's lies about Hellman's so-called memoirs. Still clever and still stunning, Ephron's play is an enjoyable read for McCarthy (THE GROUP) and Hellman (THE CHILDREN'S HOUR) fans.

i love anything written from Nora Ephron's point of view and this book provides some clues to how she got started. It is fun!

I didn't care for this book at all. I liked her other books but was disappointed in this one. Mary Pichette

This book is disappointing since it has no real message except that women fight and never forget. So, it is a very negative message that is projected.

This is a piece of junk. I threw it in the trash because I would not want to subject anyone else to this rubbish.
