As a biographer, Rose Collis ... ensures that her work does not degenerate into the literary equivalent of a night of after-show anecdote-tennis over the tablecloths of Joe Allen's.'Independent on Sunday, October 28, 2007'Rose Collis' biography is hugely entertaining and awesomely well researched...Rose Collis' witty book goes beyond fag-hagiography to show Coral's fault as well as the generous spirit which made her "Darling Coral" to so many.'
