Jan Morris: A Life
£9.00
When Jan Morris joined the 1953 Everest expedition and was first to get news of the ascent back to London, she became the most famous journalist in the world. So began a glittering career covering the Eichmann trial, interviewing Che Guevara and scooping the story of Suez collusion. Renowned travel writer and biographer Sara Wheeler has written a highly acclaimed biography of Morris to reveal the astonishing life of this twentieth century icon and will be joined in conversation with Lynn Barber.
'Brave, beautifully written and shrewdly researched . . . this is a riveting read by a writer at the top of her game.' The Times
'Seldom have I read such an enthralling biography.' Literary Review
