'Hard to think of a memoir that describes the experience [of love] with as much honesty, passion and precision' David Nicholls
'A small masterpiece of its kind, reflecting all the wit, unabashed frankness and literary elegance of its author' Max Hastings
First published in 1966, this extraordinary memoir has collected a passionate band of devotees. Written with a poet's precision, it is a funny, absorbing and brilliantly portrayed rite of passage - from school playing fields to war's battlefields, holiday camps to writers' hang-outs, Brighton to Paris, Korea to Oxford, Barcelona to Jakarta...
Driving the narrator is a desire to recount the effect of a singular young woman; the love of her and the loss of her. A joyous and movingly wise evocation of youth, travel and love; those moments of maximum brilliance, at the edge of possibility.

P. J. Kavanagh (1931-2015) was a poet, writer, actor, broadcaster and columnist. He went to a Benedictine school, served in the Korean war during national service, worked for the British Council in Barcelona and Indonesia, and acted on stage and TV - his last appearance in an episode of Father Ted. The Perfect Stranger was awarded the Richard Hillary Memorial Prize in 1966, and his novel A Song and Dance won the 1968 Guardian Fiction Prize. Poetry remained his major occupation, and his Collected Poems was given the Cholmondeley Award in 1992.
