Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-23 00:00:00 Joe Willis ER loved people and, as Joseph Lash says, she rarely let go of any of her friends, even when the passion faded. (The exceptions: Nancy Cook and Marion Dickerman, with whom she had a serious falling-out.) This book is a thorough study of ER's friendships, with chapters that place the overlapping and sometimes conflicting relationships in ER's life. Written after her letters to Lorena Hickok were unsealed, the chapter on Hickok is good factually, but colored by a lack of understanding of same-sex love. Still, the book is important to understanding the attractions ER felt, why these were important and influential at the time, and how she dealt with them throughout her life.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-06 00:00:00 Tom Milford What can you say? She was an amazing woman with incredible heart. She put everything on the page, so, as you read her letters, you feel like you know her. I wish I had.
