Who was Sophie?

by Celia Robertson

Part biography, part memoir, Who Was Sophie? is a granddaughter's search for the truth. Tracing one woman's experience of the twentieth century, this book illuminates the British literary scene of the 1930s, London life during the Second World War, the struggle to combine a creative career with marriage and children, emigration to post-war Sydney, psychiatric practices of the 1950s and the grim realities of British city life in the 1990s.
