Allow yourself to be inspired by Violet Harrington's enjoyable poetry which springs from a wealth of lived experiences read by this extraordinary person herself.
In this special audio version, Violet reads these poems herself at almost a 100 years of age and life experience with her unmistakable and charming East End accent. This makes this recording an absolutely unique experience to listen to time and time again.
From London's East End during the Blitz, to her life as a London fashion model, a wife, mother then a successful business woman in New Zealand and Australia, Violet's heartfelt poetry will strike a chord with anyone who has experienced the joys of life and love and the pains of motherhood and loss.
Readers might wish to read her companion autobiography to gain a deeper understanding of the background to these poems.
