Non-Fiction Memoir | Non-Fiction Biography
In the follow-up to Knock Wood—her bestselling “engaging,
intelligent, and wittily self-deprecating autobiography”
(The New York Times)—Candice Bergen shares the big events:
her marriage to a famous French director, the birth of her
daughter, Murphy Brown, widowhood, falling in love again,
and watching her daughter blossom. A Fine Romance begins with Bergen’s charming first husband,
French director Louis Malle, whose huge appetite for life
broadened her horizons and whose occasional darkness never
diminished their love for each other. But her real romance
begins when she discovers overpowering love for her daughter
after years of ambivalence about motherhood. As Chloe grows
up, Bergen finds her comic genius in the biggest TV role of
the 80s, Murphy Brown, and makes unwanted headlines when Dan
Quayle pulls her into the 1992 presidential campaign. Fifteen years into their marriage, Malle is diagnosed with
cancer, and Candice is unflinching in describing her and
Chloe’s despair over his death. But after years of
widowhood, she feels the sweet shock of finding a different
kind of soulmate. Candice takes us through the first years
of her new marriage and shares the bittersweetness of
watching Chloe leave home and flourish—and the comedy of a
losing battle against those damn wrinkles and extra pounds. A natural writer, Candice is hilarious, brutally honest,
down-to-earth, and wise. She may be a beautiful Hollywood
actress with a charmed life, but Candice is someone who can
talk frankly about extraordinary events. Readers who pull up
a chair will feel like they’ve just made a best friend.
