Comment:

Julian Barnes is a great writer, but somehow I didn't read this when it first came out. I took it home and it sat beside my bed. Surely somehow if it sat there for long enough I would have read it without actually having to read it. If it hadn't been for Book Club and my rash resolution to complete every book assigned this year (not exactly met but better than last year) I would have missed a real treat. Engrossing and beautifully done, Barnes has accomplished a difficult feat here; detailed research that enriches the story without being shouty.

Comment:

A beautiful book. Seeing the clothes, and the models up close and as unguarded as they ever get is a treat. Pick a favourite look; it's hard but mine is the 'granny from Hell' look based on Joan Crawford. If only grannies in real life emulated it.

Lovely but not too lovely; in fact relatively realistic and a good flicker.

Who could resist the title? Good pictures, nicely produced but really one for the Goths, not the Little Black Dress and impeccable grooming brigade.

Please get this out if you lived in Christchurch in the '70s or '80s or if you wore clothes then. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Comment:

She can name-drop for Britain but the stories about the ones I knew were worth ploughing through the others for. Knowing and loving her mother's work (Lady Antonia Fraser, historian, novelist, memoirist and wife of Harold Pinter) helped too. Amazingly frank, nicely self-deprecating and very readable. Especially if you are deeply superficial.
