Product Description

Review

'Lee Miller was an astounding woman, brought memorably to life in this astounding book' Daily Telegraph 'Lee Miller "the Surrealist icon turned wartime heroine behind the lens" attracts a serious, and gripping biography from Carolyn Burke' Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Lee Miller does its perplexingly complicated subject more than justice, adding welcome depths and nuances to the familiar legend' Sunday Times 'Burke opens up the story of Lee's life. She offers many incredible stories and passages of considerable insight' Daily Mail

4.0 out of 5 stars What a life!, 25 Aug 2009
By Ms. J. E. Davis "Jane" (Surrey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book after watching a programme on BBC4 about Lee Miller. In terms of subject matter, it's difficult to think of a more fascinating person to be writing about. There was so much to include that at times I felt that I was being catapulted with facts when I might have preferred more in the way of emotion. As a visual person, the lengthy descriptions of photographs did not work for me, but the fact that the book included a number of images added to the context. I felt that I got to know an awful lot about Lee Miller but that I didn't actually get to know her as well as I would have liked. The romantic in me was also saddened by the fact that the story of her life with Penrose seemed to be less of a love affair between two like-minded people than I would have hoped for and perhaps reading about her distant relationship with her son was the most difficult part of all. Even harder perhaps than her childhood rape and her first impressions of the death camps at Dachau. And yet she must have been a highly charismatic and loving person to have maintained such good relationships with with ex-lovers such as Man Ray and her ex-husband Aziz. Lee Miller remains elusive, but from this insight she was obviously one hell of a woman!

5.0 out of 5 stars What a life, what a read!, 17 Jul 2009
What a life, what a read! I love biographies anyway, but this one was enthralling, Lee Miller is a fascinating subject but it is also very well written with just enough psychological insight. Great book.
