I plan to read this book but Vickers is a well known apologist for her; I shall be looking for old chestnuts, rumpy pumpy stories about von Ribbentrop, the death of Sir Harry Oakes, the Baltimore Clinch and various androgynous characteristics that he tries to gainsay.
"In every battle the eyes are the first to be conquered..."
- Tacitus, Germania
"One must work in solitude as a man who opens a clearing in virgin forest, sustained by the unique hope that somewhere in its depths, others are working to the same end."
- Ernst Jünger
"I find that I must go handsomely, whatever it costs me, and the charge will be made up in the fruit it brings."

Admiral, Take the eye-rolling 'Tragic' out of the title and this book might have some appeal (to me, at least).
Yes I wondered if you are indeed recommending it, if so it will go right on my list of summer reads!
