Trade Review"Letters from friends; images of stunning pictures from private collections in Italy; memories and photographs of the author (in a wonderful red skirt) with Sutherland in Pembrokeshire - make this a unique and intimate publication. It is entirely due to the trust and affection which the author evokes that has made it possible for her to gather so much that is personal or hitherto unseen. What a treat and an honour that we too can now glimpse 'behind the scenes'." -Sally Moss, Lecturer and Curator at the Graham Sutherland Gallery "This book is for anyone wanting to appreciate Sutherland as an artist. It bears witness to an artist deeply influenced by the world around him and its relationships; it is also a striking memorial to a thoughtful friendship." -Revd Neil Thorogood, Reform, September 2015 "Perhaps the major selling-point of Thuiller's book, parts of which are compendium-like, is the amount of primary material she has assembled: there are archive items from a range of sources including correspondence and interviews, newspaper articles, reviews and reminiscences, many quoted in full." -Stephen Laird, Art and Christianity, Issue 83, 2015
