Graham
Mort - 'Myson Midas' |

|
| Brought up on the edge of a
cotton-spinning town, I was cauight between two cultures,
two histories: behind us the smoke-blackened brick of packed
houses and mills, ahead the half-ruined countryside which
the town was slowly colonising. |

Sara
Maitland - 'The Swans' |
|
|
| I have led a very noisy life.
I was born in 1950 and grew up in large, highly articulate
family: the six children were close together in age (in 1968
when every newspaper in the country was ranting about the
dreadful-ness of teenagers, my parents had five of them.)
