I enjoyed the earlier parts of this book where Belle was learning about and acquiring books and art.  While I understand reading about this could become tedious I longed for more information on her work rather than her personal life. I also have a lot of unanswered questions: How did WW1 impact the art world and how long was this impact felt, How did Belle manage to make it through the Wall Street crash, Why was her language so often described as coarse. Perhaps I should have read her biography instead.
