Re: Jeanette Winterston - famous novelist

Her latest memoir which includes new revelations about her young life in Accrington has just been released.
It's called "Why be happy when you could be normal?" Her mother's parting words to her when she left home at 16.
She has read some of the book for BBC Radio 2 - you can hear it at the following link and read a synopsis of the new novel.
