STRING OF PEARLS On the News Beat in New York and Paris

Marguerite Gavin reads Buckley’s memoirs of international journalism in an even and clear voice. Gavin tends to read more than perform, as her delivery at times seems rushed. However, her ability to deliver the frequent bits of French dialogue in a precise accent is invaluable. She reads in an upbeat style suitable to Buckley’s adventurous spirit and bright outlook. Buckley’s charming reminiscences about her years as a young reporter in Europe are packed with anecdotes about world figures and events.
