"A remarkable book... A work of social as much as architectural history... A riveting and illuminating biography." - Spectator\n"What makes Girouard a good biographer is that he allows Jim's swashbuckling story to tell itself. And with magnificent restraint, he keeps the buildings as far in the background as they can be in the life of an architect...A superb book." - Guardian\nFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
