A Writer's Commonplace Book by Rosemary Friedman
In effect the personal notebook of a distinguished and highly individualistic novelist and writer, this is an eclectic collection of more than a thousand short quotations that have struck a chord with the author in the course of her life and work. Drawing on the works of writers and commentators from many eras, this beautifully designed book displays not only its author's wide reading, but also great sensibility, profound good sense and fine, if understated, wit. A writer's book, perhaps, but one for anyone who wishes to live a fulfilling life.
Rosemary Friedman has been writing for many years, and is the author of some twenty novels, two non-fiction works, and more than thirty short stories (some published under her own name, and some under pseudonyms), and two stage plays. Her work has been serialized on BBC Radio, and many of her books have been published in translation; she has also written for television. She has kept a personal commonplace book for many years.
