Reviews
A captivating biography possessing as much verve as its inimitable subject. --Kirkus, STARRED review Reef provides insight into the legend in an account that smartly takes both Bernhardt's theatrical art and her self-publicizing seriously....Reef does a particularly fine job of conveying the nineteenth century worlds in which Bernhardt moved and blossomed; she's also tactful but clear in her acknowledgment of Bernhardt's being a highly unreliable reporter of her own life....Overall it's an intriguing introduction to an early global celebrity, and many readers will want to read more, lured in by the Divine Sarah a century on. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books The easy-to-read text paints a striking picture of 19th and early 20th century Paris....A strong addition to any biography collection. --School Library Journal In this concise, well-researched biography, Reef faithfully separates the documented from the speculative in tracing Bernhardt's life....this is a solid introduction to an unconventional feminist and international idol. --Publishers Weekly
