Synopsis
Heroine Ashley's loves, losses, triumphs, adventures and misadventures remind us that homelessness can indeed 'befall' anyone. A dark-humoured romp through the hazardous sixties, austere seventies, bleak eighties, and leaner meaner nineties. A down-at-heel memoir imbued with the desolate ghost-beauty of the city, both ruin - and renaissance-in-waiting. An excerpt from the novel Baglady was short-listed for the 1998 Eastside Stories Competition, United Kingdom Edit

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Mary Fitzpatrick (illustrator). INSCRIPTION FROM CHRISTINA MANOLESCU on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; Introducing Ashley Grimes, born-again 'Cendrillon," whose adventures and misadventures we pursue, at a relatively safe distance and from the comfort of our padded armchair. Her fledgling 'dropflight' from the family nest, her adoption by a saintly missionary, her macabre marriage, scattered motherhood, romantic scribblings and ill-starred business venture, her peace & love adventures, brief stints in the military and other nameless hazards wherein we witness her valiant rise and fall - rise and fall - in the dizzying spiral descent toward 'bagladyship.'.
