What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A glittering, poignant tribute to one of America’s most stylish icons as well as it’s most stylish city.”
- Kate Betts, New York Times bestselling author of My Paris Dream and Everyday Icon: Michelle Obama and the Power of Style
“In this thrilling, evocative book, Elizabeth Winder shows us Marilyn at a moment of transition, a Marilyn we’ve seldom seen before–independent, introspective, curious, and seductive. It’s a knockout.”
– Luke Barr, author of Provence, 1970: MFK Fisher, Julia Child, James Beard and the Reinvention of American Taste
“A beautifully written glimpse into a year in the life of a complicated, brave woman whose keen intelligence and ambition has been largely overshadowed by her iconic beauty. Winder takes the reader on a fascinating and intimate journey with Marilyn that ends all too soon.”
– Kate Andersen Brower, New York Times bestselling author of First Women: The Grace and Power of America’s Modern First Ladies and The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House

– Publishers Weekly
“Illuminating… A touching, textured, and compellingly written slice of the iconic actress’s life.”
–Kirkus
