两位女性让人最印象深刻的相似性在于她们看似天性使然的坚定自我和无所畏惧。在Thompson1920年27岁生日的那一天,这位美国年轻女子仅持一文件夹,心携能够取得自由时事记者的工作资格并穿越欧洲去见证俄国沙皇革命余波的目标,孤身一人远赴没有亲朋所在的英国。到1927年,她已定居柏林,成为首位欧洲资讯署的女性负责人。West的父亲----爱尔兰记者,抛弃妻子之时,她才8岁。幸而至19岁时已经是一位评论家和散文家,并弃名声于不顾地以初生牛犊之势发表了前辈级作家Arnold Bennett和GeorgeBernard Shaw删减过的批判性评论。West女士直到1983年90岁与世长辞之前从未间断过写作,并曾得到让人梦寐以求的《纽约客》编辑Harold Ross的暗藏丰盛赞誉的来信:请以我们写个故事吧,真实的虚构的都可以!1941年,West出版了举世闻名的书:《黑色的小羊羔和灰色的猎鹰》 ---叙述了巴尔干半岛的历史以及对纳粹主义兴起的沉思。
Ms Hertog s style is frequently novelistic, which is less irritating than might be anticipated.In her description of Thompson s life in Berlin, for example, Ms Hertog assumes the voice ofan omniscient narrator: As Dorothy walked to the small office she kept on Motzstrasse, sheremembered the first time she had met Rebecca Her writing style can be fanciful, aswhen Ms Hertog imagines the colour of Thompson s dress and how her hair might have beenstyled for her un-photographed first wedding. But it works well in the passages where theauthor attempts to draw out the romantic and family dramas which so defined the lives ofboth women.
