Review:

"A model of the biographer's art, combining as it does diligent research, abundant quotations and a judicious and self-effacing narrative written in attractive and readable prose... One of the really great biographies of recent times" -- Ray Monk * Sunday Telegraph * "A work of art, evoking by his frankness and outstanding skill the vivid personality that cast a spell upon almost everyone lucky enough to know her" -- Raymond Mortimer "Professor Bell is absolute master of his material. He brings his subject to life with such honesty that one almost forgets that she wrote some of the great important novels of the period" -- Anthony Curtis "Outstanding..romantic, enthralling, even hilarious" -- Margaret Lane "Will rank among the great lives" -- Arthur Calder-Marshall
