My Take
Polly Samson deserves to be read on her own terms, not just as David Gilmour's wife. She is a novelist, journalist, and lyricist who has put words into Pink Floyd songs, a daunting place to write, and made them land. Being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018 tells me the literary world takes her seriously, not merely the rock press. I respect writers who work quietly and let the sentences carry the weight, and Samson strikes me as exactly that: someone whose voice survives proximity to one of music's loudest legacies.
