About This Item
Paragon House, 1988. Ex-Library. Trade Paperback. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! ONE SPINE CREASE & MILD WEAR ON LAMINATED COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES, A FEW LIBRARY STAMPS, NO MARKS IN TEXT. Description: Sarah Bernhardt was born in Paris in 1844, the illegitimate daughter of a pretty milliner. Her childhood was not a happy one, for her health was dangerously frail and her mother had little time for her. The book tells of her love of the theatre, her selfless work in behalf of the wounded during the siege of Paris in 1870-1871 and her courageous trips to the Front in World War I, and her role as gracious though often capricious hostess to many of the great figures of her time; one of France's most glorious ambassadors abroad.
Reviews
On Jan 26 2023, a reader said:
It seems like other reviews have covered a great variety of opinions. Thinking about it after reading it in a relaxing sunny place I get the feeling of wanting to create and weave it into historical fiction because a lot of the things that the famous actress went through are still prevalent these days for many people. I think the author genuinely admired Sarah Bernhardt and was careful with details and facts.
