Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Winston Graham’s career spanned more than forty novels, among them the celebrated “Poldark” series, which won him the hearts of millions of readers. When he eventually found the time to tell the story of his own life, he produced this lovely book, free from what he calls “the fashionable sins,” but rich in charm and intelligence. Witty, eccentric, and intimate by turns, Memoirs of a Private Man offers a glimpse into the world of the novelist who rose from remote Cornwall, with its cottages and gardens, to the glittering film scene of London. An endearing memoir for all Poldark fans. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
