Paperback. Jane Sutcliffe would tell you she had an ordinary life. She would be wrong.Born in Bradford in 1948, Jane grew up in a household where stability had to be invented from scratch. By nine she was running the house. By seventeen she had joined the Army. By her mid-twenties she had become the youngest commissioned officer in British Army history, a fact she mentioned once and never revisited.What followed were decades that Jane would simply call getting on with it. A marriage made out of duty rather than love. A son born with a club foot, and a mother who looked the doctors in the eye and said no. Years in South Africa building a career so quietly that people found themselves trusting her before they had even thought to question why. And then, at fifty, something she had not seen coming. A love that was real, and earned, and entirely hers.Contours of an Ordinary Life follows one woman from a Bradford terrace to the African bush, from the worst day of her life to the best years of it, from a childhood spent keeping everything together to a life that finally, in its later chapters, asked nothing of her except to live it. Written with restraint, warmth, and an eye for the telling detail, Richard Phillips has crafted a portrait of a woman who rebuilt herself more times than she counted and never once asked to be noticed for it. This is not an inspirational story. It is something rarer. It is an honest one.For readers of literary fiction inspired by a true life who believe that quiet lives, lived with integrity, deserve to be told. A Bradford childhood that asked too much. An Army career that made headlines sheignored. A life rebuilt, continent by continent, on nothing but quiet determination.Contours of an Ordinary Life is a fictionalised true-life novel about a woman who neverthought she was remarkable. She was wrong. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
