Stars: 2
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Very dry,
which is a shame as the author tried awfully hard to make her more
interesting and relevant. It was a semi biography and examination of her
work in critical context of its time. Was very plodding
though and kept harping on a few things, and then once she was married
to Max Mallowan the author repeatedly went on and on about how happy the
subject became yet the book then zoomed along to an almost abrupt end
and barely mentioned (if at all) a lot of her
important works of the period. It just made no sense at times and
conveniently ignored certain aspects of her life that ran counter to
points it was trying to make at the time.
