Description
Reviews
'It is wonderful to have these diaries in print at last. In Mary Watts, we have a witness to the fin-de-si+¿cle art circle whose aesthetic eye combines with a loving and thankful heart. Nowadays we would say that such happy wifely devotion to a 'Signor' must be a kind of self-deceit, but it's clear from the diaries that it isn't. Her feelings are genuine. There just aren't women nowadays like Mary Watts GÇô which makes her diaries all the more captivating for modern readers.' Lynne Truss
