Deeply moving account of a startlingly unlikely relationship. A gay man and a middle aged woman. Callow is his customarily articulate and humane self in this really moving story of the relationship between two highly intelligent and engaging lovers.

A wonderfully moving story of an unusual love affair - described as 'a passionate friendship' Very well written and a gripping read. Of interest to anyone with an interest in the world of theatre and theatre people.

Good

Only read half

Wonderful true story of love that burned brightly but was never on a physical level. A very interesting and enjoyable read as always from Simon Callow.

Simon is vastly underrated as a writer. This is another gem describing a period of turmoil and great sadness in his life.

Callow has a fantastic style and the memories and anecdotes that he unflinchingly shares just make you wish you knew these two immensely talented and unique people

I was reading Alan Rickman's diaries (Truly, Madly) and he mentioned this book. As an admirer of Simon Callow's, I immediately acquired it and I duly read it. It's remarkable and engaging, and I enjoyed it very much -- mot merely the elegant prose Callow produces, but the human insights he provides and self-awareness he has. It is, it's worth saying, a very fast read. Incidentally, if you know Stephen Frears' 1987 film "Prick up your Ears" -- about Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell -- Callow's friend Peggy Ramsay is represented in it by Vanessa Redgrave, though Callow is not persuaded by the representation. Nevertheless, the portrait in the film was sufficiently vivid that I can remember it in detail many years after seeing the film.

If you are interested in modern theatre history this is a wonderful addition to your collection

NOt as good of a story as I had hoped.
