Inventory of a Life Mislaid: An Unreliable Memoir, Marina Warner in conversation with Jenny Uglow

Inventory of a Life Mislaid: An Unreliable Memoir, Marina Warner in conversation with Jenny Uglow Author, historian and mythographer Marina Warner’s latest Inventory of a Life Mislaid: An Unreliable Memoir resurrects the fraught union and unrequited hopes of Warner’s parents. A memoir that is at once historical and imaginative, evocative as both, follows Warner’s mother Ilia’s voyage from southern Italy to London. With her husband away at war in the East, she begins to learn how to be an Englishwoman. Vivid recollections, that of cricket and riding, war-ravaged England, and Cairo in the 40s and 50s, lace this beguiling memoir of post-war childhood, adventure and loss. In conversation with historian, biographer and publisher Jenny Uglow, Warner discusses this account of the past, born from memory and imagination.
