Reaction to the book

edit

Novelist Stewart Home questioned the validity of the claims in the book, saying: "While Morrison appears to have existed she was probably unable to produce a convincing account of her personal experiences because she received too much useful advice about content from an editor who was keen to help her write a best seller."[4]
