Full Description
Autobiography:A idealist 17 year old sets off from a council estate near Glasgow to become a farm secretary on the large farms and estates of the East of Scotland. She encounters a clash of culture, prejudice and unexpected kindness along the haphazard and emotionally fraught journey. A social memoir spanning the late 70s to the early 90s.'Life is ofen stranger than fiction, and this story shows the fine line that is walked in relating true events whilst maintaining a believability.' Hardeep Sing Kohli"Humour is difficult to pull off in writing and even more difficult when I'm judging it because it is what I do for a living - occasionally. The chapter, A Toe in the Line is a beautiful journey into the world of inexorable error after inexorable error, as the day goes from bad to worse for 18 year old Hazel Cameron as she heads off to a job interview. Life is often stranger than fi ction, and this story shows the fi ne line that is walked in relating true events whilst maintaining a believability.'Hardeep Singh Kohli
