Without Warning & Only Sometimes
By Kit de Waal
Without Warning and Only Sometimes is a story of an extraordinary childhood and how a girl who grew up in house where the Bible was the only book on offer went on to discover a love of reading that inspires her to this day.
Dynamic and immersive, Kit de Waal's effervescent memoir documents
a fraught childhood of opposites and
conflicting identities with wit, humanity and an uncanny power for bringing the figures of her youth to vibrant life.
