A biography almost as comprehensive as the BofE [Buildings of England] itself...It's been worth the 20 year wait
Matthew Bell, Independent on Sunday
What Harries brings to the table is the most intimate portrait of Pevsner yet
Hugh Pearman, Sunday Times
This is not just a fair-minded biography, but also an impressive and comprehensive one. An enormous one too... even the obsessives will discover new things
Harry Mount, Spectator
Magnificent...in Susie Harries's hands, Pevsner's story unlocks a vitally important chapter in 20th-century history...told with warmth, lucidity and wit
Art Quarterly
This is a biographical masterpiece that shows how the life of one man can become a prism through which can be read the stories of both England and Germany in the 20th century...[Harries] book is of infinite value
Alexandra Harris, New Statseman
