'The Children of Lovers are Orphans.' Proverb
Bestselling novelist, author of Lord of the Flies, William Golding was a famously acute observer of children. What was it like to be his daughter?
In this frank and engaging family memoir, Judy Golding recalls growing up with a brilliant, loving, sometimes difficult parent.
