PRAISE FOR THE WORLD AND HIS WIFE

A splendid new review of The World and His Wife on Amazon (Verified Purchase no less):
"This is one of the funniest books I've read in a long time: an account of the savage and very public marital battle between two giant Victorian egos, "Sir Niggardly Liar" and his wife Rosina, a room-silencing Irish beauty. Wyatt's credentials as an historian are impeccable: we are at ease in his world, and both divo and diva speak to us in compelling tones. At the same time, he lets loose his considerable and wicked imagination on the ill-matched pair. It would make a stunning two hander, or even an opera. I'm about to read it again."
