‘I know you and this place. You’re like a hefted sheep. If you come in, you’ll never leave.’ At heart, this memoir is about not leaving home. Except when a father believes in male primogeniture and you’re a daughter, the threat of expulsion hangs like the sword of Damocles. Funny, poignant, sharp and sweet, this memoir is what the author has salvaged after the sword dropped. You'll sometimes wish you'd been there, and sometimes be pretty glad you weren’t.
Katharine Grant, author of Sedition, and as K. M. Grant author of nine YA historical novels including the de Granville Trilogy, was born into a family described by Lord Burghley, chief minister to Elizabeth 1, as of ‘more than usual perversity’. Katharine grew up on the edge of the Lancashire moors with six sisters and a brother. She has been a journalist, is currently a Royal Literary Fund Consultant Fellow and chairs the panel of judges for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction.
