Description

The author of Marie Antoinette, The Wives of Henry VIII, and Mary, Queen of Scots, James Tate Black Prize and Wolfson History Prize winner Antonia Fraser was the lover and then the wife of Nobel Prize winner Harold Pinter for 33 years, until his death in 2008. In this exquisite memoir, based on her diaries, the biographer recounts the life she shared with the dramatist and the marriage that sustained them both, revealing in essence a love story, along with Pinter's own revelations about his past, observations by his friends, and unique insights into his writing. "Told from a privileged backstage perspective, and observed with a sharp eye for social and behavioral detail ... this book works, just as it appears their lives worked, as the most touching and enduring of love stories.... The ending, brutal and unsentimentally presented yet filled with a Tolstoyan directness of feeling, is almost unbearably moving. The whole of this lovely book fills you with a gratitude that happenstance can, once in a while, not screw up and find the right girl for the right boy."—Financial Times (London)
