A writer's wry observations about the glamorous worlds of Hollywood and literary London during the second half of the 1970s are offered in this autobiography. Though Frederic Raphael is only incidentally concerned with the rich and famous and has little interest in names and gossip, he notices and comments on the discrepancies between public and private faces to convey the texture of life around him. His notebooks, never originally intended for publication but contained in this compilation, are exercises in candor, precise observation, and wit, creating an engrossingly stylish and enduring chronicle of his times.

Ticks and Crosses: Personal Terms IV
This is an absolutely fascinating biography. I hve not reasd any novels by Rosamond Lehman - yet. However I now feel that this biography will have given me a greater understanding of the woman she was. Her life was a tirbulant one. Married twice, and having had several lovers, a couple of whom were several years her junior, she lived a life that exposed her to a lot of heartache. I always love the old photographs in these biography's and this one certainly has some good ones, an I know I spend far too long scrutinizing them, trying to get a handle on people who are long dead. What is equally fascinating are the number of famous names that litter the pages, names such as, Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, Julia Strachey, Stevie Smith and Katherine Mansfield. This is the second Selina Hastings Biography I have read, and I think I should be putting the third on to my wish list now.
