The evocative autobiography of the author Lena Kennedy who was sixty-four before her first novel, `Maggie` was accepted for publication.\u00a0 This book examines the inspiration for her novels, such as the bestsellers Eve`s Apples and Lily My Lovely\u00a0 and describes the long search for a publisher, as well as\u00a0 her joy at finding success.<\/p>\n

In this, story of her life as a writer, Lena Kennedy looks back on the formative influences that shaped her career, such as the idyllic summers spent at her family`s holiday home in Kent, where among the `shackdwellers` of the woods and the simple beauty of the countryside she began to realise her growing need to express her feeling through writing.\u00a0 But the realisation of the need to write is only the beginning, as Lena soon acknowledged when her career took its first faltering steps, and the setback late in life that nearly robbed her of many year“s work. The Last of the Shackdwellers is told in her inimitable style, sheds much light on the life of this much-loved writer.\u00a0 Lena Kennedy died in August l986.<\/p>\n
