";[3] The New York Times wrote that it “captures the excitement of Miller’s omnivorous spirit.”;[4] The Daily Telegraph (U.K.) noted, “Lee Miller was an astounding woman, brought memorably to life in this astounding book.” [5] Burke's third biography, No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf, was praised in The New York Times as “concise and gracefully written”;[6] in Booklist: “a perceptive, supportive, even definitive biography”.
[7] The reviewer for the UK newspaper Daily Express wrote,“This book pays Piaf the supreme compliment of coming from both the heart and head of its author.
You can feel a palpable love for her subject, and there’s also clear-headed analysis of what made Piaf tick.” [8] It has been translated into a number of languages including French.
Burke's next book, Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz, Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Strand, Rebecca Salsbury was hailed by The Washington Post as “{a} sharp-eyed group portrait of two artistic couples.
