One Life: My Mother's Story
ISBN: 9781782116875 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. One Life is the story of Nance Russell, whose life spanned a century of tumult and change. In an act of great imaginative sympathy, her daughter Kate Grenville has drawn on the fragments of memoir Nance left, to create an intimate account of the patterns in her mother's life.

In other ways Nance was exceptional. In an era when women were expected to have no ambitions beyond the domestic, she ran successful businesses as...
