hogwash1's review against another edition
1.0
Terrible book. Teenager spends summer as servant of aged Lillian Hellman. Mahoney seems intent on describing every single line on every single face in Martha's Vineyard. She loses Hellman for the trees -- and the flowers, watering cans, hoses, lawns, shoes, and just about everything else she comes across that summer. Too bad. I liked Mahoney's book about rowing down the Nile. But as much as I was prepared to dislike Hellman, Mahoney's adolescent narrator is not the one to judge her.
