Summary

One of the most critically acclaimed memoirs ever written. One of the ten books - novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography - that make up our Matchbook Classics' series, a stunningly redesigned collection of some of the best loved titles on our backlist. Hailed as classic from its first publication,Bad Blood is one of the most extraordinary memoirs ever written. Lorna Sage's early childhood was dominated by her brilliant, bitter grandfather - a drinking, womanising vicar, exiled to a parish in rural Wales. When the war ended and she left the gothic eccentricity of his vicarage for her parents' stark new council house, she soon discovered that real family life was marked by secrets and disappointments of its own. Longing to escape, Lorna swore she would never settle down until she fell pregnant at sixteen. Capturing a vanished place and time and illuminating the lives of three generations of women, Bad Blood is a stunning story of survival.
