In an exquisitely presented book, David Suchet has brought together the most stunning photographs (the majority are his own work) to compliment his written memories, through which he shares not only his thoughts and feelings, but allows you to see the world through his eyes.
Each chapter is short, simple and concise...no more than 20 pages long, and half containing photographs...providing little snippets into the different themes in his life: family, hobbies, faith, choices, fame, directors, poirot and photography.
David Suchet communicates through the senses, complimenting the photography with descriptions of smells, sound touch and emotion. He also takes time to describe the photographs he didn’t take, but that are images in his thoughts...his grandparents holding hands.
I am a huge fan of David Suchet, and had the privilege of meeting him almost 10 years ago when he released ‘Poirot and Me’...he is a man who approaches life with his heart wide open...and the warmth and kindness he exudes in person emanate from the pages of his book.
One of my favourite quotes is from ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ and is ‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view...until you climb in his skin and walk around it’. David Suchet never intended writing an autobiography, but seeing life through his camera lens, and his eyes gives you so much more than an autobiography.
