Nice to see this. The book came out just before Bair's death. I've reviewed it here: https://niklasblog.com/?p=23209. On the other hand, I recommend Kate Kirkpatrick's 'Becoming Beauvoir' a lot: https://niklasblog.com/?p=24693
I read your Bair review and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks! Between the OP and yours, the quotes make her voice sound so engaging that I think I may actually order the book. Also: everything Beckett is quoted as saying is mesmerizing.
'There is a sense on almost every page of Parisian Lives of the biographer settling scores and airing long-suppressed grievances. [...] . It’s a pity that the generosity and kindness of Seamus and Marie Heaney and others towards her is described only in passing.'

Instances of this remind me of the "Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?" koan (e.g. https://www.kindspring.org/story/view.php?sid=63753 )
