The book is written not only as a story but as a deeply felt personal responsibility. It is a dedicated commemoration of his wife and a vindication of Hillary, to whose death it provides the true background, hitherto obscured by the fantasies of Arthur Koestler, Middleton Murry and others. It is a luminous document, profoundly moving and brilliantly told.
