A moving, funny memoir by a great writer -- from her wartime childhood to her stints as a teacher, lady's maid, actress and writers... In a rare foray outside that natural home, Booker Prize-winner Bernice Rubens penned these memoirs 'while I still have a memory'.
Poignantly, the highly-acclaimed author, literary bonvivante and celebrated film-maker died shortly after completing them. She wasn't quite expecting that but nor, as she reveals in these pages, did she expect to become a writer. It wasn't the sort of thing that happened to girls born in Glossop Terrace in Splott, the 'unmentionable and indisputable armpit of Cardiff'.
Bernice Rubens died in the autumn of 2004.
