A moving testament to one of the literary world's most celebrated marriages: that of the greatest playwright of our age, Harold Pinter, and the beautiful prize-winning biographer Antonia Fraser. In this memoir, Fraser recounts the life she shared with the renowned dramatist. In essence, it is a love story and an insightful account of their years together, beginning with their initial meeting when Fraser was the wife of a member of Parliament and mother of six, and Pinter was married to a distinguished actress. Over 33 years together, they experienced much joy, a shared devotion to their work, crises and laughter, and, in the end, great courage and love as Pinter battled the illness to which he eventually succumbed on Christmas Eve 2008. Fraser's diaries--written by a biographer living with a creative artist and observing the process firsthand--also provide a unique insight into his writing.--From publisher description.… (mais)

Enjoyable love story with good literati gossipy tidbits (but not enough of those either)and too careful "surface" writing without the depth and understanding which may be found in an unauthorized bio. I closed it with more questions than it answered: what about Pinter's severed relationship with his son? Her children? More of the politics of their PEN demonstrations and relationships to people like Vaclav Havel. I will have to try the Billington bio of Pinter. ( )

very sad ending. ( )

I've read several historical biographies by her (and her mother) but know very little about him. It's an account of their life together and since they know all sorts of interesting people in the arts, I'm enjoying what she says about that. She has a witty British sense of humor that I like. ( )

I loved this. Yes, they are fancy and it is name-droppy and it's a little funny when Lady Fraser makes it sound like they are just plain folks having the Soros grandchildren over for dinner. But it's a very tender story with some insight into Pinter's work as well as her own. And a beautiful love story to boot! ( )

Thought I'd love it, but I got bored with it all. ( )

Fraser describes this account, based on her diaries, as “in essence…a love story”, and Must You Go? ­certainly has at times a bosom-heaving, lace-handkerchief-fluttering quality.

"No flowers on my grave," he hissed after seeing dead cornflowers on ­Larkin's. His wishes have been honoured in this book, which is less flowery than most elegies have a right to be, one year on. He had already approved the diary entries he'd read as "a great record of – us". Still, he couldn't have known that Fraser would include his poems to her, including the last one, written 18 months before he died, which begins: "I shall miss you so much when I'm dead".

I first saw Harold across a crowded room, but it was lunchtime, not some enchanted evening, and we did not speak.
