Publisher's description:

Diana Athill, born in 1917, made her reputation as a writer with the candour of her memoirs; through her commitment, in her words, 'to understand, to be aware, to touch the truth'. This volume presents her memoirs, spanning her very English childhood, her life and loves during World War II, and her publishing career at Andre Deutsch.
