Recensione:

"Dangerous Muse is a dangerous book seductive, surprising, utterly beguiling. I don't know when a biography has held me captive like this unable and unwilling to escape from Blackwood, her husbands, her silences, her beauty and recklessness. Schoenberger writes like an angel, researches like a demon, paints portraits like a Rembrandt. A stunning performance in every way."
--David Laskin, author of Partisans
