Description
‘A marvel of clarity, fluency, and (Morris’s favourite word in her final days) kindness.’ The Sunday TimesThe first full account of the remarkable life of Jan Morris: writer, soldier, traveller, and trans pioneer. Jan Morris is widely considered one of Britain’s best-loved writers, known for her observational genius, lyricism, and humour.
Born in 1926, she spent her childhood amidst Oxford’s Gothic beauty and later participated in military service in Italy and the Middle East, before becoming an internationally fêted foreign correspondent.
However, public success masked a private dilemma that was only resolved when she transitioned gender in the late sixties.
She went on to live happily with her wife Elizabeth in Wales for another five decades, and never stopped writing and publishing.
Here, for the first time, the many strands of Morris’s rich and at times paradoxical life are brought together.
