A fascinating collection of memorial addresses on celebrated lives. The eulogy is a literary form like no other: to compress a lifetime into minutes, to summon the person, what they meant to their friends, colleagues, and sometimes a wider context, to be moved to grief, laughter, sadness and fond memories, to mix praise for virtue with the acknowledgement of foibles, to choose a few anecdotes form the hundreds available, is a very different art to that of the dry obituarist. Angela Huth has collected come of the sparking examples of the form - by or about writers, politicians, actors, sportsmen, academics, and, in some cases, unknown but well-remembered friends. This is a treasury of remembrance, fine writing and good lives.
