Praise for Adam Nicolson and his books: 'Nicolson writes so well,
with such modesty and deep feeling, that the book fairly sings in
your hands.' Daily Telegraph 'Exceptionally well done, beautifully
written, personal yet panoramic' Observer 'An extraordinarily
outward-looking book… a truly passionate attention to detail…. A
love-letter no one else could hope to write so well.' Sunday
Telegraph 'A passionate evocation, a compression of observation and
anecdote which catches you up in its intelligence as well as its
enthusiasm, and fill you with homesickness for a place you've never
been to.' Daily Telegraph 'Generous, exuberant and a vividly
written narrative…. history, travel-writing and memoir of the best
sort.' Spectator 'Sharply observed, a finely written work, one to
be savoured, turned over and over like a good whisky.'
