One of the most critically acclaimed memoirs ever written. One of
the ten books - novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography -
that make up our Matchbook Classics' series, a stunningly
redesigned collection of some of the best loved titles on our
backlist. Lorna Sage's outstanding memoir of childhood and
adolescence brings to life her eccentric family and bizarre
upbringing in rural Wales. The period is evoked through a wickedly
funny and deeply intelligent account: from the 1940s, dominated for
Lorna by her dissolute but charismatic vicar grandfather; through
the 1950s, where the invention of fish fingers revolutionised the
lives of housewives like Lorna's mother; to the brink of the 1960s,
where Lorna's pregnancy at 16 outraged those around her, an event
her grandmother blamed on the fiendish invention of sex. Bad Blood
vividly and wittily explores a vanished time and place, and
illuminates the lives of three generations of women.
