DIARIES

'I think the greatest satisfaction of reading published diaries is that of being admitted into other people's worlds, of living in their houses, knowing their friends, accompanying them on their travels - and at the same time being party to their views of it all. It is like plunging into the imaginary world of a novel and yet satisfying in a rather different way...'
Susan Hill, Howards End is on the Landing, p.87.
