Born in Cumbria to working class parents in 1938, she published her first novel at the age of twenty two. Since then she has written 25 novels as well as 9 non-fiction titles - a mixture of award-winning biography and memoir. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKathleen Jones, a biographer, poet and fellow Cumbrian, explores Margaret's books against the background of her life - divided between the quiet hills of the Lake District and the busy capital city London; between the demands of a lively family, and her own writing career.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book sets out to answer the questions readers most often want to ask. How did Margaret manage to sustain her career from the best-selling \u003cem\u003eGeorgy Girl\u003c\/em\u003e, to the Orange Prize listed \u003cem\u003eOver\u003c\/em\u003e without doing any of the author events or publicity stunts that publishers expect? Where did the idea for \u003cem\u003eDiary of an Ordinary Woman \u003c\/em\u003ecome from? How autobiographical are her novels? Did Margaret prefer writing biography or fiction? Was she a feminist? And above all, how did she accomplish the juggling act of family and career through a marriage that lasted more than fifty years?\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 7 x 4.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468637716733,"sku":"9780957433212","price":25.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/NngzL1FYd3Z4T1p2RHBTb3dmU2Vhdz09.webp?v=1777290704","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/margaret-forster-a-life-in-books-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
