Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was about time I read a book about one of my most favorite people. I only knew bits and pieces of her story. The full portrait, as told by Charles Higham, was stunning. Audrey Hepburn was a remarkable lady.

I never knew how truly remarkable Audrey is until I read this. Informative and also entertaining

[Sammy Malave · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was rich in detail and it felt like the author knew alot about the icons of the time. From Audrey's childhood in WWII to her first marriage. Only 3 stars because I read more than half and had to return to the library, but I like the way it was written.
