In this delightful book, Isabel Russell has provided the next best thing by giving us an affectionate and candid memoir of the eight years she spent in the Whites' home as their personal secretary. She has given us a portrait, both humorous and touching, of one of the great literary marriages of our time and of two people whose love for one another and their work burned as brightly in their old age as it did in their youth.""
