This was a very enjoyable book and I learned so much in reading it. I didn't know much about Peggy Guggenheim except that she was part of that family and that she has an art museum in Venice that was closed the day we were there. :-(
She was quite an interesting person who lived during a very interesting time! I didn't know her father died on the Titanic, that she was quite a siren who had affairs with many men, and that the love of her life seems to have been Samuel Beckett. Oh, there was so much to learn!
The sad thing about the book is the fate of the author, who died of cancer before she finished it. The book was completed by another author who spoke so highly of Godfrey.
This book made me want to read and learn more about this era.
