Memories With Food At Gipsy House By Felicity & Roald Dahl

This book was my charity shop find of the year, scooped up the day after Boxing Day on a family visit to Woodbridge in Suffolk. I have always loved Roald Dahl and voraciously read his books over and over and over again when I was a child. I clearly remember, aged ten, his death being announced on the tiny television in our dining room and weeping at the loss. This book, which Roald was working on with his wife Felicity when he died, was completed and released the year following his death in 1990. A very powerful poignancy runs throughout the book as a result, which is heightened by the personal and moving memories of his step-daughter Lorina, aged only 27, who died just a few short months before he did.
