Life Class by Diana Athill
Diana Athill, born in 1917, made her reputation as a writer with the candour of her memoirs; through her commitment, in her words, 'to understand, to be aware, to touch the truth'. This volume presents her memoirs, spanning her very English childhood, her life and loves during World War II, and her publishing career at Andre Deutsch.
'There is a sense throughout Athill's works that you are making a new friend as much as reading a new story' Observer 'What sets her apart is the flagrancy and wit of her writing - her memoirs display a vivacious appreciation of the life she has lived and what is still to come' New Statesman 'Athill has always had a peculiar and attractive talent for communicating her pleasure in life' Telegraph Athill tells her own story lightly and delightfully' Daily Mail 'Diana Athill is one of our most captivating and truth-seeking memoir writers, and this hefty four-books-in-one collection spans most of her 92 years' Good Housekeeping
Diana Athill was born in 1917. She is the author of Instead of a Letter, After A Funeral, Don't Look at Me Like That, Make Believe, Stet and Yesterday Morning, all published by Granta Books. She lives in London.
