Ungewöhnlich und wundersam war sie, die Welt der Lorna Sage: Das ländliche Wales der fünfziger Jahre und die mißglückten Ehen ihrer Großeltern und Eltern bilden den Hintergrund ihrer offenherzigen, ebenso radikalen wie heiteren Familiengeschichte. Als Lorna Sage im Alter von siebzehn Jahren ein Kind bekam, löste das einen Skandal aus. Dennoch schloß sie ihre Schulausbildung ab, wurde Professorin für Englische Literatur und war eine der einflußreichsten Literaturkritikerinnen ihres Landes. »Ein großartiges Buch. Die Detailfülle und die schiere Lebendigkeit dieses jungen Mädchens machen Die Anfänge meiner Welt zu einer unvergeßlichen Lektüre.« Doris Lessing
