Book summary





Media reviews


"Alinder worked closely with Adams in the last four years of his life, running his day-to-day affairs, helping him to complete his autobiography and tending to his worsening health. Now she has written a loving, minutely researched portrait of the photographer that acknowledges his humanity while confirming his enormous artistic contribution....Alinder is candid about Adams' failings, especially his glaring neglect of his wife, Virginia, and their two children, but she never really explains this gregarious man's deep emotional estrangement from his family."
