Who She Was Reviews

"Who She Was is a precise, meticulous re-creation of a woman's experience that attempts -- as does all great literature -- to take a stand against time and loss and insignificance."
-- Alice McDermott, Author Of Child Of My Heart and Charming Billy
"Freedman has succeeded brilliantly in finding out who his mother was and how she lived; the result is a book that is deeply satisfying to read, as close to time traveling as most of us will ever experience."
-- Diane Ravitch, The New York Sun
"Nothing less than a triumph of the biographer's art, a work that takes a woman lost to time and restores her to the world."
-- Davod L. Ulin, Chicago Tribune
"A testament to how every life is a living and memorable embodiment of the past and history. One feels the author's affection and wonderment for his subject on every page."
-- Oscar Hijuelos, Author Of The Mambo Kings Play Songs Of Love
"Who She Was is a subtle analysis, with all the pathos and depth of a portrait by Rembrandt.... Freedman's odyssey into his mother's past explains who she was and paints an affecting portrait of the woman and her times."
-- Tony Lewis, The Providence Journal
