Rese�a del editor:

'Reading The Daily Telegraph Fifth Book of Obituaries is like going on an all-night spree with alluring strangers one has just met in a smart bar: unpredictable, vivacious and happy, with glimpses of a world of sumptuous elegance and hints of romance, but above all lingeringly memorable' TLS

Rese�a del editor:

The lives chosen represent a cross-section of 20th-century experience - from the Raj and the courts and chancelleries of Old Europe to the Jet Age and global mass-media. But the shrewd character sketches tend to be of dowagers rather than dictators, boffins rather than bureaucrats, popinjays rather than philosophers. For this is an essentially sympathetic, and frequently hilarious celebration of individual human diversity, with all its flesh and blood foibles and curious sidelights related in the deadpan, delicately ironic style for which the "Telegraph" obit is famous.
