Review
A compelling portrait fo a woman who knows how to love and live. 86 eventful years warmly and charmingly related. A natural storyteller naturally tells her own story effortlessly, hypnotically and joyfully. Another winner in a long string of successes. Sarah Broadhurst, 'Bookseller' Magazine I found this nostalgic autobiography riveting, reminiscent of Gosford Park. Excellent stuff - I loved it. Diane Pearson, President, Romantic Novelists' Association
Product Description
"You Never Know", Claire Lorrimer's autobiography, spans the 20th century. A "Daily Mirror" reviewer described one of her many books as a 'slice of life'. "You Never Know" is the whole rich tapestry of a life overflowing with adventure, humour, tragedy, love, joy and disasters. She paints vivid images of her childhood when her mother, the famous author Denise Robins, entertained pre- and post-war literati at her weekend country house parties. Armed with an old typewriter, a vivid imagination and a passion for life, Claire started writing books during the war whilst in the WAAF. She is a past master at crafting a sentence to evoke more than just an image; every scene captures the emotion of the moment. She has had a remarkable career and "You Never Know" is the engrossing story of a fascinating life.

You Never Know,
By
This review is from: You Never Know (Paperback)
I have to admit to being a huge fan of Claire Lorrimer and this book does not disappoint at all, for one thing it has a great selection of wonderful photographs, an absolute 'must' in all biographies.
It is quite sad when she is reminiscing about the war years but it is so evocative of another lifetime. There are also some hilarious moments, namely the goat with 'false teeth' I was sitting on a crowded bus heading over the Harbour Bridge home, reading that page and just burst out laughing. I had tears rolling down my face, consequently there were a few smiles at me. It is written with such love and pride, conjuring up pictures for me on every page, I particularly loved reading about her immediate family and Mel, he does sound and look a dream!!! I hope you both have many many happy times ahead Ms Lorrimer.
