Product Description
Geoffrey Wheatcroft, The Sunday Telegraph, 22 March 1998
'A simply fascinating book'
Product Description
Jennifer Hart has spent a lifetime shunning conventional morality and pursuing her love of the rational and of justice. This lead her to break away from her liberal past becoming in turn a socialist, and later, a communist. a successful civil servant before and during WW2, she late moved to Oxford with her husbanb, Herhert Hart. Her life spans the 20th century, from the hope of the League of Nations to the misery of the 30's and the threat of fascism, from her aspirations as a young woman to the bery moving conclusion about her fourth child, born brain damaged and requiring more love and understanding than had ever been asked of her before.

Stunning insight into a stunning life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ask Me No More: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
Hart recounts her life from clearly a personal viewpoint rather than looking at the whole situation. The books peaks during her account of the accusations of spying aimed at her and also her relationship with her late husband, Herbert Hart, professor of jurisprudence at Oxford. Altogether a fascinating book

5.0 out of 5 stars
Of universal curiosity,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ask Me No More: An Autobiography (Hardcover)
I was slightly apprehensive when embarking on this book, but overall I think it is a good account of a fascinating life. Clearly a victim of her circumstances, her Oxford upbringing is reflected in her liberal, left wing views - but perhaps not vice versa. Overall, I concur with the reader from Esher that this was an excellent book and well worth spending the money on to leave on your coffee table for others to read.
