"Celebrated as the "greatest descriptive writer of her time" (Rebecca West), Jan Morris has been dazzling readers since she burst on the scene with her on-the-spot reportage of the first ascent of Everest in 1953. Now, the 92-year-old author of classics such as Venice and Trieste embarks on an entirely new literary enterprise - a collection of short daily diaries, penned over the course of a single year. Ranging widely from the idyllic confines of her North Wales home, Morris comments and quips on world and domestic issues."
Tilly Lloyd reviews In My Mind's Eye: A Thought Diary by Jan Morris, which is published by Faber.
