And Then There Was One
Born in a small Hill Station in India called Muree, the daughter of an Indian officer, Joyce Dennys, here, gives a lively account of her childhood. Her mother nearly died after birth, so she returned home to England with her children, the youngest being her new baby, called Joyce. The family settled in Eastbourne, but after some years Joyce's mother returned to India to join her husband, and her small daughter went to live with her grandparents in their big, dark redbrick house. Her memories of life are sharp, funny and alive, with anecdotes that are full of humor.
