"This was a very well written and well researched biography. I was completely unfamiliar with Iris Origo; but, after having read this book, I am interested in reading her autobiography (Images & Shadows) as well as her war-time diary about her work during the second world war. She was a highly regarded writer and lived an exceptionally interesting life."
