Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Nancy Cunard knew a virtual who's who of the artistic world of the first half of the 20th century before getting embroiled in the Spanish Civil War and World War II. It is a fascinating story of the rich little girl who had everything and who would spend all she had to help the needy in wartime. A hellish haze of alcoholism and mental illness would eventually kill her in 1965. Ms Gordon has written a moderately long account (nearly 450 pages with notes and index) of her advocacy of the defendless and her love affairs with the famous. It is an interesting story for any reader who is familiar with both James Joyce and Langston Hughes, with both the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression.
