AMIEL, BARBARA
Friends and Enemies: A Life in Vogue, Prison, & Park Avenue
NY: Pegasus Books, 2020. 1643135600. Stated First Edition. Second Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 1643135600. Whether you are an admirer or critic of Amiel’s, you will be completely engrossed in her operatic life, one that seems ripped from the pages of a scandalous novel. She also distinguishes herself as a woman well ahead of her time—the first female editor of a national newspaper in Canada, she challenged the sexual mores of society while also angering the feminist establishment. She has certainly had many friends and enemies over the years—Henry and Nancy Kissinger, Elton John, Tom Stoppard, David Frost, Anna Wintour, Oscar de la Renta, Margaret Thatcher, Princess Diana, Marie Jose Kravis, to name but a few—and she brings these personalties into the spotlight in this larger-than-life memoir that is sure to cause a sensation with readers everywhere.. A few corners turned dow, now righted, one brief note on ffep, else fine; otherwise unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped ($29.95) dust jacket is in excellent condition. VERY GOOD/FINE. Photographs. Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall. 592 pp. Very Good+ in Fine dust jacket .
