‘This short biography is both an education and a joy.' – OUT MAGAZINE
‘Reads like one of the better Merchant-Ivory screenplays: a comedy of manners, obsession and art, with twin heroines heroic one moment and foolish the next, plus a supporting cast that includes John Ruskin, Bernhard Berenson and Oscar Wilde.' – ADVOCATE
