Helpful Score: 1

I read this after seeing the Masterpiece Theater production on TV (which I enjoyed). If anything, the book is even better. It is written in an autobiographical style and spans several decades in the life of the narrator, Logan Mountstuart, a writer by profession, who rubs shoulders with many famous contemporaries on his life's journey. If you are drawn like I am to WWII London, British Intelligence, the monarchy, the literary world of the 1940's and 50's, and stories of great romance and great sorrow, I think you'll like this book.
