Synopsis
As Virginia fought to be her own person, plunging into the swing of the 60s as a rock journalist, she was caught between a father she adored and a mother bent on self-destruction. Now a renowned writer, she has drawn a portrait of a gifted woman in a time of extraordinary change. Blackly comic, "Janey and Me" reflects the universal struggle to emerge from our parents' shadow.

About the Author
Virginia Ironside has been a journalist ever since her first book came out in 1964, when she was 20. Since then she has written over ten more books and, for the last thirty years, been an agony aunt for Woman, the Sunday Mirror and, now, the Independent. She has one son and lives in London.
Review
'There is so much to be valued in this book as a wonderfully honest, heartfelt memoir.' Lynne Truss, Sunday Times 'This book has the narrative grip of a novel, steeled by the author's remarkable ability to recreate conversations, appearances and above all atmosphere. And the essential quality of all good childhood memoirs is also there: it forces you to re-examine your own performance as a spouse, parent and offspring.' Financial Times
