NON-FICTION: Lawless Lady
(2 of 2)
It is a notable, memorable book; vital, subtle, grave. Humor it lacks, but never a sombre simplicity.

She wrote neither for pulication, criticism nor comment; simply as that rare creature, a self-sufficient woman self-communing . One of her phrases was this: "Death is an event in life man has not spoiled."
