Critics Review
Nicolson’s great gift as a diarist is that he does not simply recoprd events: he brings those events and the characters in them brilliantly to life. His diary entries are astonishingly rich min-portraits of people and places, with a telling eye for detail… Brilliant, riveting stuff. - TRIBUNE
