Mabel Dodge Luhan's Intimate Memories offers the brilliantly edited memoirs of one woman's rebellion against the whole ghastly social structure under which the United States had been buried since the Victorian era.

Customer Reviews

An extraordinary autobiography not to be missed

Intimate memories is the autobiography of one of the most fascinating and influential women in artistic and intellectual circles of the US and Europe in the beginning of the 20th century. Mabel's writing is frank and engaging, and her story draws you in like an adventure novel. Her independent spirit and influence on writers, artists and intellectual luminaries of her time are awe-inspiring. This book is well-written and well edited, and I highly recommend it (and Im NOT just saying this because the editor is my mom)!
