Critics Review
“Meticulously researched…answers more questions about the family behind the high-flying brand than most of us could think to ask. The Wall Street Journal writer’s account … helps humanize a legendary family.–The Wall Street Journal
“Deborah Ball got the story. Thanks to an impressive degree of access to both Santo and Donatella, as well as to a host of their friends and family members, this Wall Street Journal writer describes in riveting detail what the siblings were thinking behind their grief-stricken visages.”–The Washington Post
“Readers may feel as if they are breaking through the sequined barrier that has sheltered the family from the world’s eye; that the shroud of mystery around them is finally lifted. The result is a read that is genuinely honest and riveting.”–The Associated Press
