Reviews

Olivia was a remarkable young woman, feisty, articulate, intelligent and emancipated, a lover of books and classical music. Her exemplary editor, Robert Malcolmson retrieved the original manuscript from M-O's [Mass Observation's] files at Sussex University. Quite why no one before him saw its potential is a mystery, but he and his university press deserve our thanks for polishing and publishing a classic. -- Michael Barber, The Tablet
