Tape 1 exceeded my expectations of the book. It is colloquial and frank. Dirk Bogarde's lifestyle, his likes and dislikes are revealed. Even more interestingly, it starts off in England, in a sunny garden, and promises to biograph Bogarde's every journey through the 'Movie' world (although I had previously guessed that I 'knew' it already). Mrs X, the lady to whom the letters are addressed, is not immediately revealed and the book promises that she and Bogarde never met. You will find out pieces about Mrs X through the one-sided letters; the lack of absolute knowledge of the content of the letters, received by Bogarde, become mysteries to be fathomed out by each listener individually; with each new reply. My first thoughts on the book had been that it would be quite sufficient to listen to odd letters, but tape 1 proved to me that it deserves to be listened to in its entirety. It made me want to find out more about Bogarde's life, contemporaries and about the films he appeared in. www.mebooks.co.uk/rol
