I would like to persuade everyone to read it <em>Sunday Times</em></p><p>A compulsively readable, beautifully written account of a fascinating twentieth-century woman and life. This candid, affecting portrait of a woman who loathed domesticity explores how she sought to balance a literary career with political commitment.</p><p>Towards the end of her life, the writer Storm Jameson began her memoir by asking, can I make sense of my life? This question propelled her through an extraordinary reckoning with how she had lived: her early years in Whitby, shadowed by her tempestuous, dissatisfied mother; an early, unhappy marriage and repeated flights from settled domesticity; a tenaciously pursued literary career, always dogged by a lack of money; and her lifelong political activism, including as the first female president of English PEN, helping refugees escape Nazi Germany.</p><p>In a richly ironic, conversational voice, Jameson tells also of the great figures she knew and events she witnessed: encounters with H.G. Wells and Rose Macaulay, travels in Europe as fascism was rising and a 1945 trip to recently liberated Warsaw. Throughout, she casts an unsparing eye on her own motivations and psychology, providing a rigorously candid and lively portrait of her life and times.</p>...4285701Journey from the North390542https://www.gandhi.com.mx/journey-from-the-north-9781805330455/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/4027249/image.jpg?v=638846737260470000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249781805330455_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9781805330455_<p>One of the 20th centurys finest memoirs of literary and political life, with an introduction by Vivian Gornick, who referred to the book as literary gold</p><p>Stops you in your tracks.
