![]() All these I had read or had read to me at home. I needed no introduction to Beatrix Potter (I had learned to read on those), nor to Winnie-the-Pooh, The Wind in the Willows or Alice. She discerned at once that I was a reader and that my father was too and set about educating us both. All my life it is voice rather than appearance that has drawn me to people and Miss Blackwell’s was the voice of a highly cultivated and benign siren beckoning me to steep myself in untried waters. Middle-aged, unmarried, with a neat grey perm, a straight tweed skirt and classic sensible shoes, she had the Delft blue eyes of a mystic and a voice that I can hear to this day: gentle, tuneful, tactful. The children’s librarian there was a Miss Blackwell. We lived in rented accommodation in a drab block of London flats and the highlight of my week was the regular Saturday trip I made with my father to the children’s library. I think anyway I would have spent a lot of time at the local library. ![]() ![]() They were a bookish couple, my parents, well-educated but poor. ![]() When I was a very small child, my father lost his job for being a communist activist. ![]() ![]() ![]() A Panzer tank through your heart, leaving dirt and rubble through which poppies bloom.

I blamed myself for the abuse, assuming that I had brought this on myself, due to my poor decision making skills. However, this was finally a way out for me, as I was unable to leave prior to this. Ostensibly, I left because my ex had cheated on me. I was called “fat”, “worthless,” “stupid,” “bitch,” and probably lots of other names that I now choose to forget. ![]() The abuse was both emotional and physical.
