Read in August, 2012

I had very little idea who this person was. The title caught my eye, and loving all things Paris I grabbed it. Divorced from Peter Jennings and widow of Richard Holbrooke, this is her memoir. An accomplished reporter and writer in her own right, this details her personal relationships with her lovers, husbands, children, family and chronicles her news and writing careers. What a piece of work this chick is! But I would love to know her. Wouldn't want to be married to her. If you are looking for real introspection you won't find it here. But you will find an interesting telling of life among the best and the brightest. She could never seem to be faithful to anyone, not even her children, for more than 10 years, and blithely recounts her personal history as if she hasn't noticed. Amazing family, elite education, dazzling career, no money worries. Every privilege apparently couldn't make up for having to flee Hungary as a child with her American sympathizing "enemy of the people" parents and siblings. Don't let the cliches get in the way, it's still a well written and fun read.
