Description
Aunt Munca never told the truth about anything. She was already a figure of mystery during her nephew Ferdinand Mount's childhood. Half a century later, a series of startling revelations sets him off on a quest to uncover who this extraordinary woman really was. The story leads us from the back streets of Sheffield at the end of the Victorian age to the highest echelons of English society between the wars. Along the way, he discovers multiple deceptions, false identities and abandonments that are both shocking and irretrievably sad. This unconventional tale of British social history is told in reverse, offering a unique glimpse into a vanished moral world. New material discovered by Ferdinand Mount about his eccentric aunt adds depth to this enchanting personal memoir, which is now published for the first time.
