Book Reviews of No Room for Secrets
Book Review: Absolutely Fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a lovely read from a lovely woman who has led an absolutely fabulous life! It is rich in tales from India, where she was born, to Switzerland where she was a Bond Girl on `Her Majesty's Secret Service,' to Scotland, the Middle East, the Far East and points beyond. Miss Lumley lets no one define her but herself. She takes you on a tour of her house and each room reminds her of a journey in her life - whether that journey involved modeling, acting, traveling, humanitarian efforts, or just living. She acts as an interviewer of herself and thus can be self-depricating and revealing at the same time. She makes wry observations with a lovely turn of phrase: "If you really want to do something, you'll do it because you can't live with yourself not doing it." (p. 205) Or this one on age: "I don't know whether it's because I'm growing older and can see the sunset from the top of my hill, but I find things more and more fascinating nowadays." (p.257) Absolutely Fabulous, the show, is discussed on eight pages (pp. 158-166) with shorter references throughout but this is a comprehensive tale of a very full life, of which that very funny show was a part but does not comprise the whole. How fascinating that Miss Lumley's grandfather received a Tibetan Buddhist scripture from the 13th Dalai Lama which she plans to return to the 14th Dalai Lama on a trip she is packing for at the end of the book (p. 255). Thank you for sharing your Absolutely Fabulous life with us, Miss Lumley. May your adventures continue on and carry you forth. Looking forward to the next installment!
