" Like nothing we' ve ever read before, this tragi-comic autobiographical story . . . manages to tell the story of not just the author' s family but many others-- in stark, direct, intensely courageous prose. Bad Blood is a brave, compelling book that will have a huge impact on all who read it." -- Whitbread judges In this extraordinary personal history, the late author and influential literary critic Lorna Sage tells the searing tale of her escape from a claustrophic childhood i post- World War II Britain-- a story of courage, humor, and pain that brings to life the nature of family life, memory, and marriage through three generations.
