REVIEWS: (circa. 1960) “Her appointment as Minister to Luxembourg confounded her critics as well as the State Department. But if all ministers and ambassadors did the kind of person-to-person job Perle did there would be no “Ugly American. She went down into mines, brought all the country’s burgomasters together for the first time—at a party, naturally. She even drew praise from that elder stateswoman, Eleanor Roosevelt.”​LaVere Anderson, “Under the Reading Lamp,” The Tulsa World, 1960 We’re pleased Perle Mesta devoted time to writing a book and a lot of other readers doubtless also will be. Her memoirs are entertaining and enlightening. … Judging by the record set down in her book, … it is unfair for her to be known principally as a party-giver.” Clark Kinnaird, “Mesta Memoirs Entertaining” The Buffalo Evening News, 1960 “It all seems a little long ago and far away, but it was really quite recent—the era of Perle Mesta, the ‘Hostess with the Mostess,’ the heroine of ‘Call me Madam,’ the indefatigable party-giver, and Minister to Luxembourg. … For plain agreeable reading, with really no message at all, it is hard to beat this book.”​Hal Burton, “On Books,” The Newsday Nassau Edition, 1960
