Description
The great-grand-daughter of Charles Dickens has established herself in book after book as a brilliant, penetrating and compassionate observer of people. Here she observes herself as well, objectively and often mockingly, telling the story of her life and of those she worked with and met, ministered to as domestic servant, eased and cheered as nurse, loved and cherished as friend, wife and mother – the record of a writer’s inspiration and achievement. Whether portraying her family in London, people who worked with her in hospitals, factories and newspaper offices, listened to her on lecture tours or talked to her on a Samaritan telephone line, she writes with a vitality and feeling that compel the reader into participation. A moving, living, unforgettable book.
Hardback, 210 pages. In very good preloved condition with the exception of fading evident on the dustcover.
