Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
She is an editor that writers trust:
◆ In those early years, I sometimes talked to Francis Windham and Diana Asher in my heart while writing. -VS Naipaul
◆ Diana was my first British editor... All who knew her and read her memoirs admired her for her honesty, her simple and elegant style, her unpretentious personality, and her perseverance in the face of life's shrinking possibilities. She was an example of how to grow old, even if we don't want to. I was lucky to have her in my life
