A Young Woman Abroad with Colorful Friends!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I will tell you the truth that I only purchased this book because of the author's relationship with Mai Zetterling which was platonic. I was fascinated by Mai's life ever since I saw her in The Witches. I read her autobiography but I wanted to know more about her life. Well, the author knew Mai Zetterling very well and her children. I felt that the author should have had an index for all the name dropping that goes on. Nora Sayre was young and promising woman when she left New York for London where she writes about her memoirs. The book is written to include names of celebrities and other memorable characters. I liked this book because it also offered a side to Mai Zetterling who I think is forgotten by the film community. She was a remarkable woman who admitted failing as a mother. Mai didn't want children and had her daughter and son, Etienne Lemkow and Dr. Louis Lemkow Zetterling with Tutte Lemkow. She was a character beloved by people like Nora Sayre. The book is well-written and and an easy read but needs an index.
