Description
At 20, Ann Ingle fell deeply in love with an Irish man she met on holiday in Cornwall. However, their wedding plans were soon disrupted when he failed to reveal his true identity at the church.
Sixty years later, Ann reflects on her life, sharing eight essays that explore what she has learned from her experiences - including raising a large family, coping with mental illness and loss, and finding her own path in middle age. With candour about love, heartbreak, and ageing, Openhearted offers a compelling story of living life with curiosity and delight.
This memoir is a powerful exploration of the human experience, tackling topics such as class, religion, mental health, and relationships, with humour, honesty, and vulnerability.
