Met the author at a talk at the ABQ museum for her latest book on Mabel Dodge Luhan but thought I'd start with this one first.

If you want a book more specifically about Mabel, be aware that this book is less specifically about her. It does cover many of her guests through the years. I felt it spent a bit too much time on Dennis Hopper than it needed to.

I enjoyed this one as a portrait of an era when Mabel Dodge Lujan changed the future for Taos and northern New Mexico
