Description: This volume is English author, journalist, literary critic and travel writer Rebecca West's (1892-1983) memoir. West was committed to feminist and liberal principles and was one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century. Rebecca presents the story of her mother's, father's and husband's unique and talented families. As in her novels, the richly drawn characters of her heritage and childhood cross a diverse landscape, from Scotland to Australia to Africa, encountering love, loss, and a panoply of challenges. Told with her compelling voice, West's chronicles reflect not only the importance of family to identity, but to the way one relates to the larger world.
