Rreth këtij libri elektronik
I can't help it. Sometimes the words just come out and I can't stop them. It feels like preaching the gospel.
When publishing assistant and war widow Nancy Hawkins tells Hector Bartlett he 'urinates frightful prose', the repercussions are swift. Losing not one, but two, much-sought-after literary jobs, Mrs Hawkins finds herself embroiled in a mystery involving anonymous letters, quack remedies and blackmail. Years later, and a far cry from Kensington, she looks back with a sharp and mischievous eye at the cost of telling the truth.
Introduced by Ali Smith.

'The divine Spark is shining at her brightest . . . Pure delight' Claire Tomalin
