'This is not a book to be read from beginning to end. It is ideal perhaps for the guest-room, with a scribbled note inside recommending page 442. There you will find Selina Hastings on Hardy Amies - affectionate, amusing, evocative, and above all true.' -- Brian Masters, The Spectator 'Lovely stuff, from flashes of comedy to deep grief' -- Country Life 'Affectionate, amusing, evocative' -- Brian Masters, Spectator 'A testimonial to the nature of friendship and affection ... robust and humourous, a pleasure to read' -- Times Literary Supplement 'The eulogy can be a literary form in which the texture and nuance of a lifetime is compressed into a few supple minutes.' -- Sunday Telegraph 20041114 'It will give pleasure for many years to come.' -- Alexander Chancellor, Telegraph 20041114 'A wonderful, if rather tear-inducing, volume to dip into' -- Julian Fellowes, Tatler 20041114 'Touching, funny and intimate' -- Sheila Hancock, Book of the Year, Observer 20041114 'Well Remembered Friends is a record of some of the finest eulogies to have appeared over the past few years! Instead of providing a morbid meditation on death, it is a stirring tribute to what can be achieved in life' -- Birmingham Sunday Mercury 20041114 'If death is the leveller, here it is the reveller and the very last word in name-dropping' -- John Moran, Irish Times 20041114
