Angela Huth has written thirteen novels and four collections of short stories as well as plays for radio, TV and the stage. She adapted two of her earlier novels for the BBC: Virginia Fly is Drowning and Sun Child. Land Girls was made into the 1998 feature film Land Girls starring Rachel Weisz and Anna Friel. She is also a well-known freelance journalist, critic and broadcaster. Angela is married to a don, lives in Warwickshire (in the 67th house she looked at) and has two daughters.
Now pushing 80, Huth has what every aspiring writer most desires: a
distinctive voice, dry, witty and utterly clear-eyed
*Daily Mail*
Enchanting memoir . . . scintillating thumbnail sketches . . . She
is also movingly lyrical about some English customs
*Country Life*
Enjoyable . . . a series of vividly-written chapters, like
snapshots in a high-end album. Most of these are fascinating, some
hilarious; all are shot through with sparkling asides . . . a
delightful memoir
*The Times*
Fabulous . . . dazzling . . . She may be 80, but the wit and keen
powers of observation for which Huth's novels are known are not
diminished a bit in this elegant and joyful memoir
*Tatler*
Though it may not be the whole story, what a story it is . . .
vividly described . . . marvellously gossipy . . . sweetly
nostalgic . . . no doubt she is a thoroughly good egg: ever
cheerful, a wonderfully loyal friend and as amusing and engaging a
writer as one could hope to find
*Spectator*
This elegantly written, witty memoir tells the story of [Huth's]
unconventional and fascinating life . . . A remarkably candid book
on a life lived in full, capturing a world as lost as Elizabeth
Bowen's novels . . . Unputdownable
*The Lady*
Deliciously gossipy and amusingly trenchant, this is an
entertaining "collection of stories from times past"
*Daily Mail*
