Jessica Godwin's indomitable spirit has ensured that she has lived every moment of her 100 years to the full. Her faultless memory takes the reader back with her over ten decades. She remained in a Home for the Fatherless until she was eight years old, then was allowed back into her own home because her mother had remarried. She survived bombing in two world wars, and worked, among other jobs, as a lady's companion, a tractor driver in the Land Army, and the director of a 'home for gentle ladies'! When she was 96, she flew to Canada, 'popped over to Australia' to visit a friend she had not seen for 40 years, and finally moved to Bath, where she lives next door to the house Jane Austen once occupied. Her book is a delight to read - not to mention being a first-hand historical record of a century.
