“An intergenerational memoir that weaves together a vivid tapestry of English eccentrics, heroes, lovers and villains.” — Naddim Samman
“The message is positive and bright, in a dark time: it's the perfect antidote to Coronavirus, as well as being, en passant a strange kind of elegy to that baby-boomer bonanza we know so well. It's a great read.” — Robert McCrum
“It’s a delightful read. People seldom write with such warmth of their families, or their past, and One Hundred Summers brings a sort of loving glow to it all. I liked the sense of curiosity that her folk express about things - wanting to explore, wishing to know.” — Andrew O’Hagan
“Where Gerald Durrell meets Nora Ephron.” — Howell James OBE
“I loved this book… the electric energy driving it, never mind the electric energy of the ravishing heroine of the book… and admiration of how much she has done.” — Polly Devlin
“A very British family with all their foibles and eccentricities, flaws and triumphs joining in a complete picture of a modern woman with a big heart and an unstoppable energy.“ — Raffaela Barker
“Charming, honest, beautifully written, lyrical, this is a wonderful family memoir - the real Swallows & Amazons. — Kate Mosse
“One Hundred Summers is funny and generous in its spirit and refreshingly, bracingly honest. It describes a life well and fully lived, littered with touching portraits: of Branson’s parents, of her marriage, of her children, of her famous brother, and of her career. It is written with great verve, a sense of humor, and a certain endearing lightness of touch, and will reward and entrance any reader.” — Andrew Solomon
