We are reading your book with great pleasure and are much impressed by the depth and breadth of your research and the acuteness of your judgement. What strikes us most is the warmth and sympathy of your approach – your love for Penelope's work is so clear.” — Terence Dooley, Penelope Fitzgerald's literary executor and son-in-law. “Happy is the writer who possesses such great aesthetic qualities and such intrinsic values, without any desire for worldly goods. These are the well-deserved rewards in life.”
