To Be Perfectly Frances : A Memoir

Frances Cherry's memoir takes us back to life in post-World War II Wellington. Leaving school with no qualifications, Frances worked in factories, fell in love with lots of boys and found an outlet for her creativity in Unity Theatre, and later in writing. Marriage, five children and life in Paekakariki followed, along with successful publications, domestic betrayal and then divorce. Returning to Wellington, she found love with another woman, and later adventure through travel. This memoir is a series of candid, colourful and entertaining snippets from a Wellington writer's life.
