Beschreibung

<p><i>I can't help it. Sometimes the words just come out and I can't stop them. It feels like preaching the gospel. </i>[large quote]<br><br>When publishing assistant and war widow Nancy Hawkins tells Hector Bartlett that he 'urinates frightful prose', the repercussions are swift. Losing not one, but two, much-sought-after literary jobs, Mrs Hawkins finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving anonymous letters, quack remedies and blackmail. Only years later, a far cry from Kensington, can she look back with a sharp and mischievous eye at the cost of telling the truth. <br><br> <b>Introduced by Ali Smith.</b><br><br><b> 'I was in heaven reading this book' Stephen Fry</b><br><br><b>'Funny, astringent, shrewd, her take on life is wonderfully bracing' William Boyd</b><br><br><b>'The divine Spark is shining at her brightest. Pure delight' Claire Tomalin</b></p>
