About this title

Synopsis

Brave, funny and authentic, Alone is a heartbreaking memoir of growing up in 1950s London in a world of poverty, alcohol abuse, parental neglect — and the courage of a little girl to find her way through the trouble-filled maze.

About the Author

Part of Pip Granger's early childhood was spent in the back seat of a light aircraft as her father smuggled brandy, tobacco and books across the English Channel to be sold in 1950s Soho, where she lived above the Two Is Cafe in Old Compton Street. She worked as a Special Needs teacher in Hackney in the 1980s, before quitting teaching to pursue her long cherished ambition to write. She now lives in Somerset with her husband.
