A mixture of fact and fiction, based upon Helga's teenage years and later life. Mostly set in London, with some episodes taking place in Germany and South America. A fascinating combination of thoughts, impressions, changing circumstances, and an endless variety of people.

This fourth selection of short stories from Helga continues her look at life and personalities around her; interpreted from her particular viewpoint. Her long experience of living in different countries is condensed into several fascinating tales, which both stand alone and carry on from her previous books. She has also written her autobiography, under the title: No Longer Strangers.
