Brave, explosive, and thought-provoking, this is a powerful memoir from a critically
acclaimed writer.
‘It’s material, make a story out of it,’ was the mantra Charlotte Grimshaw grew up with in
her famous literary family. But when her life suddenly turned upside-down, she needed to
re-examine the reality of that material. The more she delved into her memories, the more
the real characters in her life seemed to object. So what was the truth of ‘a whole life lived
in fiction’?
This is a vivid account of a New Zealand upbringing, where rebellion was encouraged,
where trouble and tragedy lay ahead. It looks beyond the public face to the ‘messy reality of
family life – and much more’.
