Redeeming Features: A Memoir… by Nicholas Haslam
“Nicky Haslam reveals his extraordinary talent as a memoirist and chronicler of international High Society. Touching, funny, and wonderfully indiscreet, he makes us wish we could all join his circle of friends.” -Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire
“What a life! And one that could only be recounted by the man that lived it. Written with great brio, wit, and worldliness-uniquely wonderful!” -William Boyd, author of Any Human Heart
“Nicky Haslam has known everyone from Greta Garbo to Cole Porter to the Royal Family, with many unforgettable eccentrics in between. But this is not a catalogue of celebrities. Masterpiece is an overused word, but this Proustian evocation is indeed a masterpiece.” -A. N. Wilson,
“Witty, moving, and gloriously indiscreet, Redeeming Features is deliriously enjoyable. -Selina Hastings, author of Nancy Mitford: A Biography
“Haslam is not only an indefatigable networker; his book offers the most eloquent proof that name-dropping has come of age.” -Sebastian Shakespeare, Evening Standard (London)
“His story is gripping, because he has led such an extraordinary life.” -Lynn Barber, The Sunday Times Magazine (London)
