Description
Brigid Keenan's memoir is a hilarious and touching account of her unconventional upbringing in India and coming-of-age in 1960s London.
Born into a colourful childhood that was abruptly cut short by independence and partition, Brigid grew up with a determination to rely on glamour, eccentricity, and character to define her life. She landed a job as an assistant at the Daily Express in London at just ten years old and rose through the ranks to become a Fashion Editor at the Sunday Times by the age of twenty-one.
This is a story of one woman's journey from trying to fit into a world that didn't seem designed for her, to finding success and style in the midst of chaos. With wit and warmth, Brigid recounts her experiences working with top models and photographers, and learning to navigate the ups and downs of a rapidly changing world.
