The witty and brilliant autobiography from legendary, beloved and groundbreaking journalist Katharine Whitehorn.

''A book to treasure for its wit, honesty, good sense and warm laughter'' DAILY TELEGRAPH

Q: A mother''s place?
A: In the wrong.

Much loved for her frankness and humour, Katharine Whitehorn was a legendary journalist who pioneered the first of the personal columns. She told us how it really was. She was funny - and smart. SELECTIVE MEMORY, her autobiography, is about childhood, motherhood, marriage and of course her pioneering work on Fleet Street.

Praise for Katharine Whitehorn:

''Everyone grabbed the Observer to read her column on a Sunday morning'' JILLY COOPER

''Wise, witty, mischievous'' JAY RAYNER

''A meteor: clever, funny, compassionate, insightful, beautiful'' RACHEL COOKE

Humorous and bittersweet - OBSERVER

Katharine Whitehorn's long-awaited and beautifully achieved autobiography, the best present you could give, a book to treasure for its wit, honesty, good sense and warm laughter . . . What she writes is timelessly intelligent, agelessly elegant - TELEGRAPH

Dry, aphoristic, keenly intelligent - TIMES
