The Long and Winding Road: My Autobiography

Lesley Pearse  didn't publish her first novel until she was 48. Now she has sold over ten million books around the world and is a constant presence on the  bestseller chart.

 

A writer of heart-stopping stories,  Lesley's  books are filled with heroines struggling to make it in a difficult world.

 

Yet this description could apply to  Lesley  herself. In this, her first ever autobiography, she tells of growing up in an orphanage after her mother's death, her racy twenties in London during the swinging sixties and working as a bunny girl and dressmaker.

 

Packed full of  Lesley's  signature warmth, wit and poignancy, this is the story of a woman and a writer fighting against the odds to achieve her dreams.
