What The Reviewers Say

Fiona Sturges,
The Guardian (UK)
Gabriel’s writing is unfussy and direct.
Marc Weingarten,
The Los Angeles Times
The result is an alternately fascinating and lumpy account of a singular career.
Alexandra Jacobs,
The New York Times
One of those books you measure in pounds, not pages: almost three, which would have been more if the publisher hadn’t decided to post the endnotes and bibliography online rather than printing them.
Tara Isabella Burton,
The Wall Street Journal
The Madonna that emerges from Ms. Gabriel’s pages is a force of nature.
