From her first sexual encounter with a would-be high-school dropout, Polly journeys from adolescence to adulthood, experiencing a series of romantic relationships and learning valuable lessons about men, her family, and herself along the way. A first novel. Reader's Guide available. Original. 40,000 first printing.
Polly is eighteen when her father, a professional hunter, is killed by a wounded buffalo. Her mother died, when she was born. In theory she is totally on her own. However the Kenyans, who worked for her father and have known her all her life, are very loyal. She is determined to keep the business afloat to protect their jobs. Kenya has recently become independent and there is large scale unemployment. When she finds out that her father had borrowed heavily from the bank and they are going to close the business down and make her bankrupt, she does not despair. She even considers selling herself to a wealthy rancher. Will her beautiful smile and wonderful figure be enough for her to marry the older man she really loves?
Polly is the story of a horseshoe crab who discovers a sky full of stars on the night that she hatches, and wants to know more about what she sees. Not satisfied with the answers she gets from the other creatures of the sea, she sets out on her own to discover as much as she can. Her curiosity leads her to many amazing discoveries above the water, including the strange and enigmatic "two feet" that live there - but when one of those encounters leaves her with an unanswered question, her real journey of discovery begins. Polly is a story about self-discovery, the love of learning and exploration, and the quest for knowledge and wisdom. It's a gentle story told through the eyes of one of the world's most gentle and yet misunderstood creatures.
Born in 1911 into a close-knit family, Mary Rebecca Chambers (known to all as Polly) spent her formative years in the heart of the East End. This vivid account of life is told with passion and humour and is brimming with stories of how Londoners, and Polly’s family in particular, lived through two world wars and the Great Depression. Polly was a natural storyteller and this is a compilation of her heart-warming stories, arranged in chronological order, to tell the tale of life as she witnessed it, through adversity and danger, excitement and fun. The captivating anecdotes, poignant and entertaining, are suffused by the sights, sounds and smells of the East End in the first half of the twentieth century. This is a wonderful evocation of a bygone age and her affectionate memoirs will entrance anyone who reads them.

Polly had walked out, leaving her cheating husband and hollow marriage behind, taking only the case she'd already packed - everything else could wait. She flew to Paris to visit Notre Dame and open the next chapter in her life. Dale be dammed. And Paris was everything she needed and more. The grandeur of the ancient city, the Seine and the people. This was the start of something special. Something new. But why did she keep running into a strange man? She had named him Mr Creepy because his smile made her skin crawl. It was probably her imagination, but still... And now she had made new friends, like Katrina and Francois. Never mind their stories about a 'neck-tie murderer' stalking the backstreets of Paris. She was going to have fun. Plain and simple. What could possibly go wrong?
