Reviews
On Jan 26 2023, a reader said:
It seems like other reviews have covered a great variety of opinions. Thinking about it after reading it in a relaxing sunny place I get the feeling of wanting to create and weave it into historical fiction because a lot of the things that the famous actress went through are still prevalent these days for many people. I think the author genuinely admired Sarah Bernhardt and was careful with details and facts.
