Recensione
"The reigning mistress of murder...[Her] vivid, compelling whodunits over almost a quarter of a century have made James one of the world's leading crime writers." —Time
"A rare jewel." —The Times
"Energetic, thorough, and excitingly fierce, and [at times] terribly sad." —Financial Times
"Thoughtful, endearing--full of wisdom as well as common sense." —The Sunday Telegraph
"Delightful--touching--balanced by modesty and free of hubris, like a string quartet in which themes appear, slide away and recur. The result is a memoir of charm and feeling." —Scotland On Sunday
"Fascinating--An elegant, enjoyable amalgamation of memoir and journal." —Literary Review
"[P.D. James] is a heroine, not of our time, but of her own. But it is the good humour with which [her story] is encountered that makes it memorable.... Addictive...Remarkable...Top marks all round." —Anita Brookner, The Spectator
