Bold As Brass: My Story by Hilary Devey

5.0

I was gripped, astonished and at times horrified by this book. Hilary Devey's life as described so graphically and honestly has been one of constant turmoil, tragedy and horrendously hard work. The story is one of rags to riches, but the riches have not led to an easy life. In the latter part of the book she describes in great detail the challenges that she and her son faced. There is much quoted foul language in this section which would normally cause me to abandon the book. On this occasion the raw nature of the events probably could not have been described any other way.

This is a moving and brave book.
