In My Mind`s Eye: A Thought Diary

Winner of the 2018 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Award`s Outstanding Contribution to Travel WritingA treat for fans of Alan Bennett`s diaries and the works of Bill Bryson and Diana Athill.`I have never before in my life kept a diary of my thoughts, and here at the start of my ninth decade, having for the moment nothing much else to write, I am having a go at it. Good luck to me.` So begins this extraordinary book, a collection of diary pieces that Jan Morris wrote for the Financial Times over the course of 2017. A former soldier and journalist, and one of the great chroniclers of the world for over half a century, she writes here in her characteristically intimate voice – funny, perceptive, wise, touching, wicked, scabrous, and above all, kind – about her thoughts on the world, and her own place in it as she turns ninety. From cats to cars, travel to home, music to writing, it`s a cornucopia of delights from a unique literary figure.
