The prolific novelist Amelia Barr wrote her autobiography in her eighties, partly to correct what the press had made of her life. She recalls a Methodist minister’s daughter’s childhood in Yorkshire, Norfolk and the Isle of Man, marriage and emigration to America, life in Chicago and then Texas, the bereavements that left her a widow with children to support, and the long career as a writer that followed.
