A Woman Of My Age Reviews

Absorbing and quietly uncompromising, redolent with the vibrant smells and colours of Majorca, and of Spain * Daily Telegraph *
A highly revealing account, not only of a woman's life, but of a whole extraordinary passage in one contemporary European country...it should be read by everybody interested in Spain and in women's special history in the present century * Financial Times *
A personal, at times lucid and always colourful account of life - and a life - in post-war Spain * Sunday Times *
It is unfair to look for a poetic sensibility in the daughter of a poet, yet Lucia Graves has plenty of it. She is a fine writer * Literary Review *
