Review:
"The strings of associations give her memoir an ecstatic, exclamatory quality that will make it an enduring book. More than any other memoir of an artist I know, this one rings with the convincing sound of remembered happiness."'The New Yorker"A pleasant memoir. . . . She has succeeded in guarding her husband's privacy while effectively putting across a real sense of what he was."'The New York Times Book Review"Very fine. . . . sensitively written."'The New York Times"Poignant."'The Wall Street Journal"A charming and personable account. . . . Mrs. Jarrell proves herself so capable a writer--and so deeply interested in her subject--that the book is utterly engaging."Washington Post Book World
