Book Reviews of Home: A Memoir of My Early Years
Book Review: "Somewhere in her youth, she must have done something good"
Summary: 5 Stars
By now, most everyone who wishes to read this book knows many of the details. But to me, there are two extraordinary things that have become obvious about Dame Julie. First, she writes this book much like she speaks. It's as if she were reading it to me in her own special style. Refined, and with a well developed grasp of the English language. And yet, she has had virtually little, if any, formal education. Her mother put a halt to her tutoring by the age of 14, and she may have received an education that is barely the equivalent of junior high school! How did she manage that? Secondly, after reading about the performances for The Boy Friend, My Fair Lady, Cinderella, and Camelot, it is clear she had a work ethic that approached Herculean stature. Wow!! She has openly admitted that she wondered how she managed to get through it all. Sony Pictures has recently committed to do a film remake of My Fair Lady. The only rightful choice for the role of Henry Higgins' mother is Dame Julie. There are only two scenes for this role, and the last line for her is: "Bravo, Eliza!" Now, fellow Dame Julie admirers, wouldn't that just be ...."Loverly"? And do read this book.
