Translation Of The Law Of Eminent Domain, Extended To Cuba And Porto Rico By Royal Decree Of... Book

Very satisfying biography with a lot of quoting of primary sources; as with all good biographies, I ended up wanting to read all the letters/diaries/etc myself, which means Lambert did an excellent job illustrating her subjects. I particularly appreciated the way she used their children to reflect back upon the flaws of the parents, and I liked how generous she was -- there was once or twice when it was evident that she was judging the person she was writing about (Effie Grenfell, one of the other women), but on the whole she managed to keep that sort of harsh 'let me tell you how awful they were' tone away from her writing, which I think is vital to letting the people themselves speak and live. I'm eager to read more of her work.
