‘Usually, interviews confirm interrogators’ prejudices or subjects’ lies. Naim Atallah, however, caught the good and the great close to the threshold of death, where inhibitions vanish and hypocrisy dissolves. He captured serenity and anxiety, recrimination and justification, ruthlessness and regret, candour and clarity, and wisdom that’s withering in both senses of the word. At one level, the book is an album of a dying age, at another an evocation of the revulsion of the very old from the follies of their successors. At the deepest level, it’s like a map of the territory we shall all traverse on the way to death.’

‘The dark childhoods of actress Candice Derman (author of Indescribable) and psychotherapist Jane Haynes (If I Chance to Talk a Little Wild) might have sprung from the Brothers Grimm. Their stories are, however, all too painfully true. Coincidentally, continents and time-frames apart, both women grew up as emotional, if not actual, orphans — adrift, unhappy and hungry for small acts of human kindness. Their two highly individual, must-read memoirs tell of triumph over early traumas that would have broken many.’
