In Any War, There Is A Concealment

I've Never Been One To Sit Around And Eat My Heart Out. Life's Too Short.

I Sailed Through My Childhood With A Complete Lack Of Any Drama.

I Was Sent To A Nice Church Of England Girls' School And At That Time, After University, A Woman Was Expected To Become A Teacher, A Nurse Or A Missionary - Prior To Marriage.

I Also Read Modern Novels - I Have Just Had To Read 60 As I Am One Of The Judges For The Orange Fiction Prize.

I Wrote In The Book Very Specifically What I Wanted To Write About, Period, And Left It At.
