Blood trickles down through every generation, seeps into every marriage. An international bestseller and winner of the Whitbread Biography Award, Bad Blood is a tragicomic memoir of one woman's escape from a claustrophobic childhood in post-World War II Britain and the story of three generations of the author's family and its marriages.

In one of the most extraordinary memoirs of recent years, Bad Blood brings alive in vivid detail a time -- the '40s and '50s -- not so distant from us but now disappeared. As a portrait of a family and a young girl's place in it, it is unsurpassed [www.goodreads.com]

A new bunch of books has just arrived. I like them waiting to be registered, read and released :)

Interesting book! As I am much younger and not from the UK I enjoyed reading about being younger in the 50s.

I left the book in the common room of the apartments where we spend the lasy week of our Slovakian holiday.
