Basia Temkin-Bermanowa ma pretensje do siebie, że często \"rzuca\" się na Aurelię, bo choć jest ona troche uparta, to jednak posiada też wielki talent. Basia Temkin podkreśla jak jak doskonale udało się uchwycić autorce obraz współczesnej Warszawy, a także jak dużą odegrała rolę w uwiecznieniu wielu znakomitych ludzi, którzy inaczej zginęliby bez śladu.
Mniej pochlebnie wyraża się o dalszym ciągu pracy, o której mówi \"ale to już rezonerstwo i znacznie słabsze\".
