I finished Enduring Passion, but I have to say that the first half of the book was certainly more entertaining. The remainder still had some fun bits and I didn't not enjoy it, but it wasn't as amusing as the early chapters.
If you've got some time to kill, poke through the first hundred pages or so. I won't spoil her advice.
I do want to give credit to her occasionally incisive social commentary of the day: "The opinions of crudely material and base-minded men would not matter in the least if it were not that they have for so long been voluble and noisy and expressive in print and thus tended to create a degraded social outlook." Those bits of the book are quite sharp and funny.
