Publisher's Synopsis
For nearly five decades, Diana Athill helped shape some of the finest books in modern literature. She has written three memoirs, which have been acclaimed as classics for their insight, candour and wit. In YESTERDAY MORNING she goes back to the beginning, in a sharp evocation of a childhood unfashionably filled with happiness - a Norfolk country house, servants, the pleasures of horses, the unfolding secrets of adults and sex. This is England in the 1920s, seen, with a clear and unsentimental eye, from the vantage point of England today. It was a privileged and loving life - but did it equip her to be happy?
