You Never Know

Description:

"You Never Know", Claire Lorrimer's autobiography, spans the 20th century. A "Daily Mirror" reviewer described one of her many books as a 'slice of life'. "You Never Know" is the whole rich tapestry of a life overflowing with adventure, humour, tragedy, love, joy and disasters. She paints vivid images of her childhood when her mother, the famous author Denise Robins, entertained pre- and post-war literati at her weekend country house parties. Armed with an old typewriter, a vivid imagination and a passion for life, Claire started writing books during the war whilst in the WAAF. She is a past master at crafting a sentence to evoke more than just an image; every scene captures the emotion of the moment. She has had a remarkable career and "You Never Know" is the engrossing story of a fascinating life.
