This is the third volume in Emma Tennant's highly acclaimed sequence of memoirs. Her first volume, Strangers, was hailed as 'brilliant' by Antonia Fraser; the Sunday Times praised its 'supple, imaginative empathy and the skill of a practised novelist'; The Mail on Sunday called it a 'book full of charm, as you would expect from this accomplished and delicate novelist' and The Oldie considered it 'fascinating ...written with huge sensitivity'. Her second volume, Girlitude, was equally applauded by the critics. The Express on Sunday longed 'to learn what happened next'; The Sunday Times thought 'she emerges as a latter-day Mitford ...One longs for the third volume'; the Scotsman spoke of a 'writing so fresh you want to drown in it' and the Independent on Sunday could 'hardly wait for the third volume'. Well, here it is.
