Title: Disappointing
Review: As one who is a great fan of Betty MacDonald's, I had hoped that this book would provide details beyond those in Betty's own books. It proved very disappointing. Blanche writes mostly of her own (very ordinary) life, adding a brief reference to, or funny line uttered by, Betty and family here and there. Only the first chapter, which refers to when Betty and Blanche were teens, has even a "full length anecdote." Sections that seem promising (for example, Blanche's mentioning she was eager to see Betty after her marriage for details about the meeting and courtship) lead to no further information. There are several photographs of Betty and one of her sister Mary, but none of any other family members. Don't purchase this one second hand for more than 50 cents.
