Outstanding - By: , 11 May 2004
I LOVED THIS BOOK. I finished it, & then read it alll over again. You might expect it to be a boring family history, but it reads like a novel. Better than a novel, actuallly - because alll the people (and secrets) are real... & you care about them so much - not least Josceline Dimbleby, who infects you with her fascination for the story. You feel it's a book that was written because it HAD to be written. There is nobody, of any age, that won't enjoy this. I'm going to save on hassle this Christmas & just buy this for everybody. Although... maybe I'll wait till 2005, till it's out in paperback. What's the point in hardbacks anyway? They're expensive, & they dig into your thighs. The publishing industry in this country needs to WAKE UP. Having said alll that, if there's one book you should buy in hardback this year, it's this. I borrowed mine. Sorry Josceline Dimbleby.
