Product Description

A devastatingly powerful, moving & uplifting memoir
- now a classic of its genre
- that inspired others to tell their own true life stories.

When our stepfather staggered home reeking of whisky, ceramic hit the wall. We got used to the smash & the next-day stain, but eventually the wallpaper began to fade...

For Andrea Ashworth, home is not a place of comfort & solace, but of violence & fear. Her father died when she was five, leaving her close-knit, loving family to battle with poverty, abuse & the long shadow of depression. But from the ashes of 1970s Manchester & the hardships of her coming-of-age in the late 1980s, Andrea finds the courage to rise...

Written with eye-opening honesty, rare beauty & intense power, Once in a House on Fire is a ground-breaking memoir, endearing in its humour & compassion, & life-affirming in its portrait of terrible circumstances triumphantly overcome.
