Good Company: Diaries, 1967-70 - Tapa blanda

“Mrs Partridge is the last survivor of the inner-core of the Bloomsbury group. Her diaries would be riveting reading even if the story of her personal life had not been so absorbing and dramatic, and even if she were not the gifted writer that she is. A fine translator, a great diarist, a prolific reviewer, who is a national treasure; and to her friends an affectionate companion and great conversationalist – the best company there is.”
PAUL LEVY, 'The Times'

“Frances Partridge’s diaries are quietly brilliant: alive to everything, she chronicles nearly a century’s experiences with sharp intelligence and tenderness. Her latest volume, 'Good Company', shares with us her extraordinary gift for observation, truth and friendship.”
JANE DUNN, 'Observer Books of the Year'

“As old as the century, the last and probably most admirable of the Bloomsbury circle, Frances Partridge’s latest volume of diaries is as ever marked by a Colette-like feeling for natural beauty and a zest for good company.”
JONATHAN CECIL, 'Evening Standard'

“Frances Partridge is wise, kind and of shining integrity. One of the pleasures of the Partridge diaries is to observe this serenely good woman moving through monsters, like Christian in 'The Pilgrim’s Progress'.”
BEVIS HILLIER, 'Spectator'

“It is the beadiness and inquisitiveness that Frances Partridge’s admirers anticipate with the appearance of each new instalment of diaries, and they will not be disappointed here. Frances Partridge’s diaries are records of friendships, and of the responsibilities involved in sustaining them. They are of perennial interest.”
PAUL BAILEY, 'Daily Telegraph'
