Review:
"Scintillating...Holroyd's book is a sly, inconclusive and utterly bewitching dance through the elusive narrative echoes that make up the biographer's art" (Claire Allfree Metro)
"A Book of Secrets is truly a book of revelations, of sudden, emotional jolts...a testament to the significance of hidden stories and marginal lives" (Daisy Hay Daily Telegraph)
"A book of singular fascination - nothing less, in fact, than an attempt to mark out, and then gamely transgress, at least half-a-dozen boundaries that a previous generation of biographers would have hesitated to cross." (DJ Taylor Literary Review)
"compelling readable and almost determinedly in conclusive" (Keith Bruce Glasgow Herald)
"As is always the case with Holroyd, the reader comes away equally inspired, equally curious, and lavishly entertained by a story-teller of the first rank." (Lee Randall Scotsman)
