His Little Women: His Little Women

Judith Rossner. Pocket Books, $5.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-671-70124-6

This unsuccessful attempt at a Hollywood inside story revolves around the four daughters of a movie tycoon's three consecutive wives. PW called it ``laboriously contrived, rambling and lacking momentum,'' although ``at times, Rossner is capable of thoughtful writing: on sibling rivalry, Jews in the movie industry, the fiction writer's art.''
