Irrepressible: The Jazz Age Life of Henrietta Bingham by Emily Bingham

5.0

This book was on my to-read list for awhile after hearing the author speak at a local event, and when I finally got around to listening to the audio book I regretted putting it off so long. The story of Henrietta Bingham sounds interesting enough initially, with her international lifestyle in the roaring twenties and a list of friends, lovers, and acquaintances peppered with famous names. This story turns out to be so much more than that, however, and the author skillfully and sensitively portrays a chaotic, damaged, vibrant, brave, and caring woman, who I empathized with deeply.
