Girl with a Fork in a World of Soup - Paperback

by Rosita Sweetman (Author)

Rosita Sweetman tells with irresistible dry humour the story of how she fled from a turbulent upbringing into a relationship that became marked by emotional abuse.

Set against the backdrop of mid-20th century Ireland, her narrative weaves through the idyllic early years, the heart-wrenching loss of her sister Cathy, her parents' deteriorating relationship, and the harrowing experiences of boarding school.

Delving into the darkest corners of her troubled marriage and her husband's affairs, she tells how she finally managed to break free and begin on her own journey to self-discovery.

Sweetman's captivating prose and plain-spoken storytelling will resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with the complexities of family and the quest for self-acceptance.
