Review Quotes: "This reviewer could not put the volume down once taking the plunge into its richness, it reads almost as an epistolary novel. In chronicling one of the most famous friendships of the twentieth century, it serves as the complete record of a friendship that bridged the cultural divide between science, the medical arts and the literary arts. Huxley and Osmond were one another's guides - to art, to biochemistry, to psychiatry and to love and life." Social History of Medicine
