Long before "turn on, tune in, drop out" became the credo of the American counterculture, Aldous Huxley was using mescaline and LSD in controlled, carefully documented experiments. Accounts of those psychedelic experiences, along with his interest in Eastern mystical religions, accompany the moving story of Aldous Huxley's later years with his wife, Laura. Huxley's fascination with the spiritual world remained with him throughout his life and never wavered through his final illness in 1963. THIS TIMELESS MOMENT takes the reader into the lively mind of one of the most profound thinkers of any generation.

This Timeless Moment: A Personal View of Aldous Huxley
If you are a fan of Aldous Huxley or simply enjoy an insightful biography then you will enjoy this book. The author sets the record straight (from her perspective) regarding the final years of Mr Huxley's life though most today will not appreciate the controversy that surrounded his death and his later life fascination with psychedelic drugs and Eastern philosophy.
There were segments that I lost interest in - hence the 3 stars - but I carried on and was rewarded with the last quarter. Was a bit bothered by the last chapter that details the authors encounter with a medium and how she was convinced by their... "information" that there is something to the idea of contact with the spirit world. Some concerns I had with their 'proof' - Seemed to me that it would have been rather simple for the medium to have placed the books in the room given that nobody had ever seen the books before, they were in the house previously and despite the author's being convinced they had not been alone the possibility exists that they could have skipped away.
Anyway - sort of derails what otherwise is a clear sighted recollection of two special individuals and their relationship.
