"This is probably for Iris Origo fans only. She was a wonderful writer and a fascinating person. It's a selective memoir, in no sense a complete autobiography. As one discovers by reading the later biography of Iris by Caroline Whitehead, much is omitted, especially concerning her romantic indiscretions. Read War in Val d'Orcia first."
"iris origo is an amazing writer. she is of a totally different generation than me, which made me more curious about her life. this is one of my mom's favorite books. a wonderful memoir."
