Publisher: HODDER AND STOUGHTON
The evocative
autobiography of the author Lena Kennedy who was sixty-four before her first
novel, `Maggie` was accepted for publication. This book examines the inspiration for her novels, such as the
bestsellers Eve`s Apples and Lily My Lovely, and describes the long search for a publisher, as well as her joy at finding success.
In this,
story of her life as a writer, Lena Kennedy looks back on the formative
influences that shaped her career, such as the idyllic summers spent at her
family`s holiday home in Kent, where among the `shackdwellers` of the woods and
the simple beauty of the countryside she began to realise her growing need to
express her feeling through writing. But
the realisation of the need to write is only the beginning, as Lena soon
acknowledged when her career took its first faltering steps, and the setback
late in life that nearly robbed her of many year`s work. The Last of the Shackdwellers
is told in her inimitable style, sheds much light on the life of this
much-loved writer. Lena Kennedy died in
August 1986.
