'A book to treasure for its wit, honesty, good sense and warm laughter' DAILY TELEGRAPH
Q: A mother's place?
A: In the wrong.
Much loved for her frankness and humour, Katharine Whitehorn was a legendary journalist who pioneered the first of the personal columns. She told us how it really was. She was funny - and smart. SELECTIVE MEMORY, her autobiography, is about childhood, motherhood, marriage and of course her pioneering work on Fleet Street.
