Reeling & writhing

by Candida Lawrence · 1994

Cover of Reeling & writhing

Reeling & Writhing is a phenomenal personal story, more honest and unflinching than we have a right to ask of any woman who has lived with such secrets for so long. It is a tale of conflict - between a woman's heart and mind and all the forces of social convention that rise up to keep her in check. The pages are marked by violent arguments, passionate love, defiance and defeat, lies and deception. Reeling & Writhing is an indismissible plea and a private quest for sanity, a portrait of passion, and a testament to the limitless love of a woman for her children.
