I was bought this as a birthday gift by someone who knew my fanaticism for Jean Rhys. This intimate glimpse into the personal comments of my all-time favourite writer had me mesmerised from start to finish. The letters include those from 1931, when sh ...more |

I just re-read this, as background revision, while watching the 2022 drama series 'Becoming Elizabeth'. Alison Plowden is a queen of this genre. Her writing is addictive. Her research is meticulous, her detail mindboggling, her immortalised subject re ...more |

Framing this period as a female saga has become a popular theme. This example, conceptually sharp and intriguing, stands higher than some of recent years. My usual history reading centres on the pre- and post- Tudor periods, which offers context for t ...more |

Having picked up, opened, then flung aside many a sensationalised book on this woman, I was relieved to come across this very readable one. Elizabeth was loved by not just her public but within the entertainment industry too. She earned her respect an ...more |

“My life, which seems so simple and monotonous, is really a complicated affair of cafés where they like me and cafés where they don't, streets that are friendly, streets that aren't, rooms where I might be happy, rooms where I shall never be, looking-glasses I look nice in, looking-glasses I don't, dresses that will be lucky, dresses that won't, and so on.”
