In this highly original work, Penelope Lively examines alternative destinies, choices and the moments in our lives when we could have chosen a different path and changed our lives completely.
Synopsis
Examines alternative destinies, choices and the moments in our lives when we could have chosen a different path. The author takes moments from her own life and asks 'what if' she had made other choices: what if she hadn't escaped from Alexandria at the outbreak of WWII? What would her life have been like if she had become pregnant when she was 18?
