Love is Where it Falls

When Simon Callow first met Peggy Ramsay he could hardly have suspected that his encounter with the play agent would blossom into passionate love. There was the age difference for one thing: Callow was barely 30, Peggy was in her seventies. And then there was Aziz, the handsome but mercurial Egyptian with whom Callow was already deeply in love. For the next 11 years, until her death in 1991, Peggy and Callow conducted their intense liaison in meetings and passionately unbridled letters. In this revealing memoir, Simon Callow tells the story of their unusual relationship, capturing the fiery intensity and reckless gestures, the bliss and the tenderness, as well as the anguish, of their love.
