Description: She was bold she was brave she was funny she was feisty. I owe her a great deal in leading the way Sandi Toksvig Some people thought her merely bohemian but others were grateful to have so engaging a role - model Independent The superb classic memoir from a dazzlingly eccentric and endlessly fascinating author - a woman very much ahead of her time. Nancy Spain was one of the most celebrated - and notorious - writers and broadcasters of the 40s 50s and 60s. Hilarious controversial and brilliant she lived openly as a lesbian (sharing a household with her two lovers and their various children) and was frequently litigated against for her newspaper columns - Evelyn Waugh successfully sued her for libel twice. She was also a fantastic crime novelist (and according to the Guardian one of the 50 best female crime thriller writers of all time) writing with a unique style that marries the acid wit of Dorothy Parker with the intricacy of plotting worthy of Agatha Christie. WHY I AM NOT A Millionaire has the same wit style and fascinating detail - first published in 1956, with an introductory note from Noel Coward. After her death in a plane crash in 1964, Noel Coward commented: It is cruel that all that gaiety intelligence and vitality should be snuffed out when so many bores and horrors are left living.'
