With an introduction by Eimear McBride A devastatingly powerful,
moving and uplifting memoir - now a classic of its genre - that
inspired others to tell their own true life stories. When our
stepfather staggered home reeking of whisky, ceramic hit the wall.
We got used to the smash and the next-day stain, but eventually the
wallpaper began to fade . . . For Andrea Ashworth, home is not a
place of comfort and solace, but of violence and fear. Her father
died when she was five, leaving her close-knit, loving family to
battle with poverty, abuse and the long shadow of depression. But
from the ashes of 1970s Manchester and the hardships of her
coming-of-age in the late 1980s, Andrea finds the courage to rise .
. . Written with eye-opening honesty, rare beauty and intense
power, Once in a House on Fire is a ground-breaking memoir,
endearing in its humour and compassion, and life-affirming in its
portrait of terrible circumstances triumphantly overcome.
