Description
Book Synopsis“What a feast. Diana’s work compels me. . . . She’s got her teeth into life!”—Alice Munro
Trade Review"Many writers can be admired for their lyricism, their powers of imagination and their incisive wit. But there’s only one I can think of who inspires a way to live life: Diana Athill." -- Elizabeth Taylor - Chicago Tribune
"“[T]renchant and engaging . . . often hilarious." -- Bill Eichenberger - Cleveland Plain Dealer
"Diana Athill is perhaps best known for her memoir
Somewhere Towards the End, but
Letters to a Friend could eclipse it. ... Each letter is an unalloyed delight; articulate to the point of eloquence, and candid, even about the naughty bits. . . . [E]very letter in
Letters to a Friend is a small masterpiece; chatty, companionable and very, very intelligent." -- Valerie Ryan - Shelf Awareness
