indefatigably detailed and even-handed. [Seymour-Jones] has mastered a great deal of French political life over many decades
Literary Review
excellent ... Seymour-Jones's narrative crackles and pops with engrossing anecdotes ... a tautly written, riveting book ... formidable
The Observer
As a portrait of marriage - or more accurately of a refusal to marry - this joint biography is filled with delicious detail, with nefarious intrigues, trysts, betrayals, and outrageously libertine behaviour; and for all its scrupulous research and historical understanding ... it rattles along with the drama of a soap opera ...Massive, lavishly researched and eminently readable, Seymour-Jones's book is as page-turning as its is scholarly. The end result is quite dazzling.
Guardian
[an] excellent biography
Independent on Sunday
This absorbing account traces the trajectory of these twin rockets with energy and objectivity
Independent
Despite revealing the dark side of a pair "glued together by their lies", this assiduously detailed and extremely even-handed biography never loses sight of the remarkable courage it took to break the mould of their century
Guardian
Here is all you need to know: the women they loved and the books they wrote
Evening Standard
The subject matter could not be richer yet it is the clarity of Seymour-Jones's vision that is most impressive
