Synopsis
In 1960, Jill Ker Conway arrived in America from Australia. This book, the sequel to "Road from Coorain", tells the story of her gradual acclimatisation to a new continent; her discovery of the world of intellectual, energetic women; her romance and marriage to John Conway - a war hero and Harvard House Master; and their year-long European honeymoon during which she came to grips with the reality of John's manic-depressive disorder, as well as the lingering, poisonous anger of her mother. The process of learning to live with a spouse and retain personal integrity is vividly portrayed, as is the working out of dual careers. We see Jill discovering who she is - her strengths and weaknesses - and we watch as a most private woman begins to operate with a public persona that engages and enlivens a new-found creativity and energy.

HARDCOVER. True North is the inspirational Canadian Chapter of Jill Ker Conway's life story, which began with her much love, bestselling memoir, The Road from Coorain. Beginning with her departure from Australia, Jill Ker Conway tells of her romance with Harvard House Master John Conway, of coming to grips with his manic-depressive disorder, and of their move to Canada in 1964 where she became the first female vice-president at the University of Toronto. In this vibrant memoir, we watch as a most private woman makes of herself a public persona in Canada. Hutchinson, 1994. First UK edition. A good copy in a good, unclipped d/w.

Original Cloth. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. de Wilde, Barbara (illustrateur). First Edition. I believe this is the first Australian edition although the jacket has a UK price just above the Australian price on the front flap. It was printed in Australia. Originally published in the US by Knopf in 1994. Only very slight edge wear to the boards. Light browning to the edges of the pages with a few faint smudges to the bottom edges and small creases to the bottom corners of two pages. The pages are a little browned around the edges with a small brown mark near the top of one of the blank pages at the back but otherwise unmarked. Light edge wear to the jacket with a little fading to the spine. Jacket design by Barbara de Wilde. First printing. N° de réf. du vendeur 019466
