This is a beautifully written book that was a pleasure to read. Although her accounts of her chaotic London life were harrowing, this is offset by her descriptions of life in the Orkneys. As I always hope when I read an autobiography or memoire, I gained insights into another world.
There are a few details that were “tweaked” for the film. Nothing that detracted far from the story and I can see why the changes were made to drive the dynamic of the film.
The author has another book about her later travels to Berlin; this is a “must read” for me.
