A little gem of a book and most probably a thinly disguised autobiography. For those who have read her writing s before, they would be familiar with her style, an even handed approach to all issues. She is one of a kind. Maybe the last of that group who still believes in fair play and all man are equal. There might be others of the same ilk hiding somewhere trying to keep the flag flying. As it is, the book does recount her past up to her first year in university. The story is mix of life struggles as well as triumphs over adversity. This is acutely felt during the Second World War and the years just before independence. The utopian finale is something that might not come true in our lifetime but it is every right thinking citizen’s hope that it will triumph in the end.
