After writing the definitive biographies of Lytton Strachey and
George Bernard Shaw, Michael Holroyd turned his hand to a more
personal subject: his own family. The result was Basil Street
Blues, published in 1999. But rather than the story being over, it
was in fact only beginning. As letters from readers started to pour
in, the author discovered extraordinary narratives that his own
memoir had only touched on. Mosaic is Holroyd's piecing together of
these remarkable stories: the murder of the fearsome headmaster of
his school; the discovery that his Swedish grandmother was the
mistress of the French anarchist Jacques Prevert; and a letter
about the beauty of his mother that provides a clue to a
decade-long affair. Funny, touching, and wry, Mosaic shows how
other people's lives, however eccentric or extreme, echo our own
dreams and experiences."
