A Fine Romance Book Reviews
A Fine Romance by Candice Bergen Book Summary
In this New York Times bestseller, acclaimed actress Candice Bergen “shows how to do a memoir right...The self-possessed, witty, and down-to-earth voice that made Bergen’s first memoir a hit when it was published in 1984 has only been deepened by life’s surprises” (The New York Times Book Review).
“Candice Bergen is unflinchingly honest” (The Washington Post), and in A Fine Romance she describes her first marriage at age thirty-four to famous French director Louis Malle; her overpowering love for her daughter, Chloe; the unleashing of her inner comic with Murphy Brown; her trauma over Malle’s death; her joy at finding new love; and her pride at watching Chloe blossom.
In her decidedly nontraditional marriage to the insatiably curious Louis, Bergen takes readers on world travels to the sets where each made films. Pregnant with Chloe at age thirty-nine, this mature primigravida also recounts a journey through motherhood that includes plundering the Warner Bros. costume closets for Halloween getups and never leaving her ever-expanding menagerie out of the fun. She offers priceless, behind-the-scenes looks at Murphy Brown, from caterwauling with Aretha Franklin to the surreal experience of becoming headline news when Dan Quayle took exception to her character becoming a single mother. Bergen tackles familiar rites of passage with moving honesty: the rigors of caring for a spouse in his final illness, getting older, and falling in love again after she was tricked into a blind date.
By the time the last page is turned, “we’re all likely to be wishing Bergen herself—funny, insightful, self-deprecating, flawed (and not especially concerned about that), and slugging her way through her older years with bemused determination—was living next door” (USA TODAY).

Tedious. I purchased the audio book and was excited to hear Candace was the narrator and she is swell at it. I knew this was dangerous territory and knowingly going into it would be listening to an account of her marriage and likely the manifestation of her late life daughter. By chapter seven I already felt I had heard this story seven times and frankly I am bored. Skipped to further chapters to see if there was any improvement but at a point I couldn't give it the time of day. Disappointed but really what can you expect from such an account?
I enjoyed it despite itself. I grew up watching Murphy; I was excited to learn more about Ms. Bergen's life in that time. The stories were great but the editing was AWFUL. Repetitious, fractured and probably a third longer than necessary - I really can't believe the publisher let the book out in this condition. That said - when her voice came through it was a good story.
Candice Bergen tells all.. What a lovely memoir! Candice Bergen has had a wonderfully full and interesting and rewarding life, which she shares with her readers. Of course there are bumps on the road, which she also shares very openly with us readers. I really feel like I have become acquainted with her through her book. Thank you, Candice Bergen for sharing with us.
Great Story. Was so excited to read about her life. Read this on my vacation travels and kept me entertained from beginning to end as read on the Caribbean beaches.Highly recommend.
A Fine Romance. Wonderful book!!! I laughed and cried all the way through...highly recommended

Great read!. If you loved her first book, as I did you wi love this one!
A Fine Romance. What a fantastic book!! I laughed, cried, and laughed some more. Beautifully written, and very relatable. I couldn't put the book down. I am going to give it to my mother for her birthday next week, she'll love it.
A fine romance. Amazing! Can’t wait for Murphy Brown senior!
Not a great read. Enjoyed the first half, but after a while the constant name-dropping became annoying. Her sharing of Louis Malle's letters was endearing, but the chapters on her daughter were not. I began skipping pages, then chapters. Not worth the time.
