From Library Journal
These recollections by one of London's two daughters by his first wife, Bess, offer no insight into either her father, whom she barely knew, or the intriguing Charmian, for whom he divorced Bess. Written by a Victorian in a Victorian style that dances politely around her subject, London's work gives us only a tantalizingly vague sketch of a driven, erratic man whose indifference toward his offspring warped her early life. A nostalgic look at turn-of-the-century Oakland, California, her book (better called Jack London's Daughter ) is a generic portrait of the child as victim of divorce. Readers seeking an understanding of London should look elsewhere.
