I just finished Borrowed Finery by Paula Fox, who I knew primarily as the author of One Eyed Cat, which I must have read when it first came out. When I was older, I also read The Slave Dancer. So many books my mother bought me as a kid! "The daughter Fox gave up for adoption, Linda Carroll, is the mother of controversial musician Courtney Love; Fox is, therefore, Love's biological maternal grandmother," says Wikipedia.
I thought a bit of the biography of Alice Sheldon, which I have read once or twice, but they had very different lives, of course.
Before Borrowed Finery, I read Burro Genius. One of my friends says he met that author at a relative's house, and the first thing he did was go upstairs and take a nap. Ha ha.
