Memoirs of a Private Man

Winston Graham’s career spanned more than forty novels, among them the celebrated Poldark series, which won him the hearts of millions of readers. When he eventually found the time to tell the story of his own life, he produced this lovely book, rich in charm and intelligence. Witty, eccentric, and intimate by turns, Memoirs of a Private Man offers a glimpse into the world of the novelist who rose from remote Cornwall, with its cottages and gardens, to the glittering film scene of London.
