I give this writer top marks for observational skills and the ability to describe what she sees in a way that engages. I love her use of the English language and how she expresses what she feels about the people in her life. A very individual method of expression.Her honesty, tolerance, intelligence and insight combined with a vivid turn of phrase and an ability to evoke temperament and place have proved a popular and critical success. Rivalled only by her friend James Lees Milne, she was probably the best diarist published in English since World War II. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Francis Partridge's diaries are the record of a woman who not only participated in the lives of the legendary Bloomsbury group, but was the circle’s oldest surviving member until her death in 2004. Other People chronicles Frances' life in the mid-1960s, when she is still struggling to come to terms with existence after the double blow of the deaths of her husband Ralph and her son Burgo. Coping with friends in extremis, and with their daily idiosyncrasies, foibles, and irritations, is one of the recurring themes of this diary. She throws herself into life, indefatigably travelling, endlessly observant of nature and of human beings, pungent in her judgements, relishing conversation, minutely self-aware, and passionate for ideas and for her friends.
