Blue Remembered Hills is Rosemary Sutcliff’s memoir of her
childhood, youth and her first love affairs. It’s a classic
of perfect writing about her close and not always easy relationship
with her bipolar mother, life in the naval dockyards where her
father was based, and the beloved family dogs, interspersed with
her stoic endurance of physical and emotional pain. Sutcliff writes
with joy about her fleeting childhood friendships in a lonely life
as an only child. Her lyrical descriptions of the beauty around
their remote house in Devon distract the reader from realising the
excruciating clinical treatment Sutcliff underwent for years
to repair the damage caused by Still’s Disease on
her joints. She describes how her isolation and her awareness
of being physically different informed some of her best-loved
novels, as did her early love affairs.
