' A rueful, funny and affecting account of the ecstasies and absurdities of late-flowering love' -- Peter Parker, Times Literary Supplement

James Lees-Milne died in 1997. Once Country Houses Secretary of the National Trust, he is now best known for his memoirs and diaries, described by Jeremy Lewis as second to none in their comicality, rueful self-knowledge and feline observations. Michael Bloch, his friend and literary executor, is now writing his life.
