Grade 7 Up-- Towns provides information in a manner that young readers will find fascinating. The difficult parts of Hellman's life, including her on-again-off-again relationship with Dashiell Hammett and her pregnancy out of wedlock are included, as are frank, although sympathetic, evaluations of her plays and other writings. The candidness of the lady herself is clear here, and her life story is told without sensationalizing. The background material, including the photographs of scenes and people relevant to her life, are helpful in establishing the milieu in which she flourished and built her literary and theatrical reputation.
