Description
Jan Morris: A Life of Contrasts A remarkable and deeply personal story, Jan Morris's life is one of contrasts. Born in 1926, she spent her childhood amidst Oxford's Gothic beauty before serving as a soldier in Italy and the Middle East. Her experiences as a foreign correspondent took her to distant lands, but it was not until the late sixties that she found the courage to transition gender. This book brings together the many strands of Morris's life, revealing a rich and complex individual who defied conventions and lived authentically. With characteristic wit and humour, Paul Clements explores the highs and lows of Morris's remarkable journey, from her early years as a writer to her later life with her wife Elizabeth in Wales. Through Jan Morris's story, we gain insight into a life of quiet courage and determination, one that challenges our assumptions about identity and belonging.
