A collection of autobiographical essays by the late Elspeth Barker.
What The Reviewers Say
A book for which one feels incredulous gratitude.
The originality of her writing springs from every page.
[Barker] had the unusual quality of being able to both shock and soothe.
Even the shortest pieces here are memorable. Barker’s prose is poetic but not inflated, visceral but smooth.
