“Based on personal letters, notebooks and diaries, it explores the patterns of happiness and pain that have made up his life.  From the busy, eccentric family home in Hampstead to a secluded farmhouse in Provence, Backcloth highlights the people, emotions and experiences that forged the man from the child.  Written with all the honesty, wit and intelligence that have made Dirk Bogarde one of the world’s most popular writers, Backcloth is the vivid, eloquent, moving and reflective portrait of a life.”
