Review
Diana Quick, a highly intelligent actress has written a most original and compelling family memoir which defies categorisation... Quick sets off on a journey to discover her family's beginnings in India, she gives us a plotted, but not superficial, histo * Jonathan Cecil, The Daily Mail * Richly realised... The book is extremely well ordered, and Quick's writing is as precise, restrained and economical as her acting style * Alfred Hickling, The Guardian * Fascinating memoir steeped in history...She cleverly combines the story of her acting career with various Indian adventures * Tatler * Given the plethora of self-serving celebrity memoirs on offer, the lack of ego in her writing is hugely refreshing. Those expecting a tell-all tale of an actor whose consorts include some pretty famous names will, happily, be disappointed. Well able to make judicious use of her experience in both film and theatre to inform the narrative when she chooses, it's to her credit that reticence rules when it comes to matters of her own heart...In disentangling the threads of her own origins she's done a magnificent service to the history of women in India...Quick's painstaking research brilliantly illuminates their hitherto unrecorded plight. A perfect fit for her publishers Virago. Carmen Callil, founder of the imprint who first encouraged her to write, must be very proud indeed. This thoughtful work, a noble endeavour in so many ways, deserves from her audience, a huge round of applause. * Jeanne Crowley, The Irish Times *
