AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Births Deaths Marriages is about life and how we really live it. These true tales move from visits to nudist communes, to losing your virginity; to going to couples' counselling and coping with death in the family. From a bohemian childhood in the seventies to becoming a mother and a writer, Georgia Blain explores a new land - true life in all its extraordinary richness - taking us deep into the heart of how we love, learn, fail, and try to learn again.' (Publisher's blurb)
