Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First American Edition. From the publisher: Originally loathe to embark on a full autobiography, P.D. James decided to chronicle a year in her life - the twelve months between her 77th and 78th birthday - and in so doing found the daily events and reflections of the present a springboard into the past. The result is a unique and very personal book - part diary, part memoir - that spans almost the full century. She recalls, with insight and warmth, what it was like to grow up in post-Victorian England in a poor family, to be a schoolgirl in the 1930s. She recreates memories of giving birth to her daughter during the Doodlebug bombardment of London; struggling to support her family while trying to write; working in the Home Office in the forensic and criminal justice departments; serving as the Governor of the BBC, and eventually entering the House of Lords. And she explores the craft of the classical detective story of which she is a master. Through a life of hard work, creativity and public service her reputation grew. During the busy year in which this memoir was penned, she published the #1 bestseller, A Certain Justice. This copy is fine with a black cloth spine on red paper-covered boards and silver titles on the spine. No marks or damage at all. The clipped DJ has just slight shelf wear but is otherwise excellent. Signed by the author on a front flyleaf. . LB06. Nº de ref. del artículo: B1067
