3.5 rounded up

I thoroughly enjoyed this biography. As someone who has loved the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries and Sayers’ radio play The Man Born to the King, and is familiar with The Lost Tools of Learning essay and Sayers’ friendship with CS Lewis, this book was like getting better acquainted with a friend.

This biography rarely rises above a simple listing of dates, places, and relationships. It's fine enough as a cursory overview, but I found it to be lacking in insight or depth.
informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

As a lover of Sayers, I am always on the lookout for a good biography and this one is excellent. It is imminently readable and delves into Sayer's life and writings in a way that connects all aspects of her life. This biography is a must read for fans of Sayers. Duriez is such an excellent author and scholar, that I would recommend all of his biographies.
