Once in a House on Fire
Andrea Ashworth
Ashworth’s autobiography is a story of a child growing up in a terrible working-class, up-north background, suffering mental cruelty. The writing is very vivid about the abuse, and strikingly the author as a child retains her hope all the way through, and is eventually redeemed.
Caroline recommends this book, which is not grim, as a very good read.
