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

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
