Oleander, Jacaranda: A Childhood Perceived by Penelope LivelyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is one of those unadulterated joys. Penelope Lively shares her emotions, feelings, confusions and sensations on being a young child growing up an English Expatriate in a warm, rich cultural climate (Egypt) with free rein to explore and think and absorb impressions. This is a memoire, of course, I had only read her exquisite fiction before, but this is a treasure to read.
