Without Warning & Only Sometimes

Scenes from an Unpredictable Childhood

In conversation with Lisa Blower.

From award-winning author of My Name is Leon, comes a childhood memoir which is stinging, warm-hearted, and true. In a household of opposites and extremes, and caught between three worlds, Irish, Caribbean and British in 1960s Birmingham, Kit de Waal and her siblings knew all the words to the best songs, caught sticklebacks in jam jars and braved hunger and hellfire until they could all escape. Without Warning and Only Sometimes is a story of an extraordinary childhood and how a girl who grew up in house where the Bible was the only book on offer, went on to discover a love of reading that inspires her to this day.
