The quiet confessions of a Radio 4 gent ... You can't help hearing
the familiar tones of the author speaking the words ...
Entertaining ... nicely self-mocking ... I'm glad to have his
civilised and ever-optimistic voice in my ear.
*The Times*
A searingly honest insight into the life of one of our great
journalists. Hugely entertaining too.
*John Humphrys*
A model of its kind. Calmly, bravely written, infused by his
Catholic upbringing, and intriguingly haunted by the posh question
... filled with qualities that are the marks of a good life:
candour and courage, deployed with generosity and modesty, all of
them here in spades.
*Adam Nicolson*
A wonderful, poignant memoir - fluent, compelling and full of
adventure.
*Cristina Odone*
A clear-eyed and compelling account of a life, told with honesty
and much wry humour.
*Luke Jennings*
