Back.

 

 

 

 

This is an early 1980s memoir of a one-time debutante who left an unhappy   marriage and fled to live in Oxford.  She had curtsied to the Queen, had been the lady of the manor, and a magistrate for twenty years.

 

Finding a new niche in society included enrolling in the Open University, playing the fairy in a pantomime and the solo chef in a boil-in-a-bag hotel.

 

A new, important, and interesting discovery was how vulnerable Huth had      become as a single woman.   

She joined a women’s support group and volunteered at the Oxford Rape Crises Centre.

 She remarried  in 1993 and shared the raising of  her husband's children. 

He died in 2017and Huth now partners a retired professor.
