'Honest and intriguing ... beautifully written.' Observer 'Joan
Bakewell was everywhere at every stage: reporting on the Cuban
missile crisis, interviewing Allen Ginsberg and Vaclav Havel,
taking chunks out of the Berlin Wall when it fell...draped in the
kaftan of Sixties sophistication.' Independent on Sunday Joan
Bakewell's life and times spans the Blitz in Manchester, Cambridge
during the glittering era of Michael Frayn, Peter Hall, Jonathan
Miller et al, London at its most exciting in the swinging sixties
and the world of the media and the arts from the 60s to the
present. As she reflects on the choices she has made and the
influences that shaped her, she confronts painful childhood
memories of her mother's behaviour and describes both her affair
with Harold Pinter and her two marriages with remarkable honesty.
Throughout she uses her own experience to explore the extraordinary
change in women's roles during her lifetime. This is no ordinary
celebrity autobiography but a memoir that is beautifully written,
frank and absorbing, which draws a thought-provoking portrait of
Britain in the last 70 years. Dame Joan Bakewell was awarded the
BAFTA Fellowship in 2019.
