Some of this narrative, which begins when Leslie returns to England from Hollywood in 1939, is modestly involving: his discontent with movie-stardom is effectively captured; and his strange domestic set-up (living through the Blitz mostly with mistress Violette but regularly coming home to wife Ruth) is made oddly affecting--especially when Violette dies of a neglected infection and Ruth steadfastly cares for Leslie, nearly unhinged with grief (he was "supremely selfish in emotional matters"). But the bulk of the book, though always gracefully written, is simply too relentlessly close-focused to engage most US readers. Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments. Oversize and/or heavy books may require additional fees. Will advise Updated 1.4.2023.
