Part memoir, part comic monologue, this is an ensemble of mishaps and anecdotes that reveal the ups and downs of one woman's life. Relentlessly self-deprecating, Sylvia Smith's diary relays the humdrum, everydayness of living, yet it steadily gains momentum as a darker undertone gathers force.
Born in East London to working-class parents as the Second World War was drawing to a close, SYLVIA SMITH ducked out of a career in hairdressing at the last minute to begin a life of office work. She is unmarried with no children. A driving licence and a school swimming certificate are her only qualifications, although she is also quite good at dressmaking. Misadventures is her first book. She lives in London
