“It was very well-written and tells the story in a wonderful way, not in a cutesy or prurient way. It was perfect. It is absolutely wonderful.”
- Kate Burton (Richard’s daughter)
“Every so often I get an extraordinary feeling about Richard. Once, for instance, on shipboard when he was walking through the dining room toward me, again during a party when he was mesmerizing a bunch of people. I sort of detached myself, as though I was floating upward and looking down with great clarity on the two of us-like in a Chagall painting. Then a shock, a thrill goes through my body. I really feel all strange and goose-bumpy. It’s, I don’t know, maybe the pride of possession, the pride of love. He looks so bloody handsome.”
