Paperback. Etat : Very Good. A Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller As one of the best biographers of her generation, Claire Tomalin has written about great novelists and poets to huge success: now, she turns to look at her own life.This enthralling memoir follows her through triumph and tragedy in about equal measure, from the disastrous marriage of her parents and the often difficult wartime childhood that followed, to her own marriage to the brilliant young journalist Nicholas Tomalin. When he was killed on assignment as a war correspondent she was left to bring up their four children - and at the same time make her own career.She writes of the intense joys of a fascinating progression as she became one of the most successful literary editors in London before discovering her true vocation as a biographer, alongside overwhelming grief at the loss of a child.Writing with the elan and insight which characterize her biographies, Claire Tomalin sets her own life in a wider cultural and political context, vividly and frankly portraying the social pressures on a woman in the Fifties and Sixties, and showing 'how it was for a European girl growing up in mid-twentieth-century England . carried along by conflicting desires to have children and a worthwhile working life.'.

Hardback. Etat : Used. Once upon a time in the land of literary pretentions, a humble tome emerged from the hallowed halls of Penguin Viking, promising to deliver a narrative that could quite possibly be about a life lived, but more intriguingly, how that life might not be as singular as one expects. Enter ?A Life Of My Own? by Claire Tomalin?a book whose very title suggests an impending existential crisis but reassures you with the comforting notion that it?s not just any ordinary life, but one that has, presumably, an intricate plot twist involving self-discovery and perhaps a cat or two. Published in 2017, this literary pièce de résistance is the literary equivalent of discovering a forgotten biscuit tin at the back of the cupboard?at first, you?re not quite sure if it?s stale or absolutely delightful, but the prospect of unearthing the hidden wonders within is far too tempting to resist. Tomalin, known for her palpable wit and incisive observations, seems to have put her signature flair into recounting events that could be mundane and yet are transformed into a tapestry of life lessons, questionable decisions, and the odd epiphany. If only our own lives could be penned with such aplomb! Alas, we?re left with the thrift-store versions of our experiences. With a title like ?A Life Of My Own,? you may find yourself pondering whether this book is an intimate memoir, a philosophical treatise on the essence of individuality, or merely a very long letter to a friend about how one utterly failed at all their New Year resolutions. One can only speculate what profound revelations await between the pages. Will it be a treasure trove of sage advice or an amusing catalogue of life?s absurdities? The thrill is in the mystery! As you flip through the pages, you might encounter themes that ring eerily familiar yet delightfully skewed. Imagine grappling with the absurdity of social norms while simultaneously teaching your pet goldfish to complete a crossword puzzle. Tomalin?s prose, sharp as a freshly-whittled pencil, invites readers to meander through the labyrinth of existence where every twist and turn could lead to enlightenment or, at the very least, a chuckle or two. If there is one thing to take away, it?s that while life may be a comedy of errors, it?s also a canvas for glorious self-expression?or in some cases, an untouched art piece in a gallery of dust. Now, let?s address the ever-important aspect of its condition. Condition: This literary treasure has been gently used, possibly providing a veritable history of lives touched before it reached your unsuspecting hands. Expect a few creased pages that bear witness to the emotional rollercoasters of previous readers, perhaps a coffee stain or two which adds character (or at least a conversation starter). Its spine has been lovingly cracked, indicating that it has been suitably adored, while the cover exhibits the kind of wear that suggests it?s been held tightly during moments of revelation or laughter, perhaps while sitting in a café contemplating life?s great mysteries. Whether you?re looking for profound insights or simply a whimsical distraction from the mundanity of your own ?life of your own,? this book has the potential to serve both purposes. It might motivate you to take a good hard look at your own experiences or leave you chuckling in recognition of your own delightful mess. In any case, consider it a companion on your journey of self-exploration, or at least a witty diversion on a rainy afternoon. So why not add ?A Life Of My Own? to your bulging bookshelf? It might just be the perfect antidote to finding out that your own life, much like this book, is a convoluted narrative that deserves a second glance. After all, it?s brought to you by Crappy Old Books, the place where old stories find a new lease on life?even if they come with a few quirks and some well-loved scars. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE.…
