Eating Children by Jill Tweedie

Beginning with her father's death, the author of this book takes an autobiographical look at the traumas and outstanding events that make up the early years of her life. Brought up by her strict Scottish father and her unhappy, unconventional mother, Jill Tweedie instinctively knew that she didn't want to be either "nice" or "respectable". Besotted with her mother's exotic Turkish background, Tweedie believed that her mother had taken the wrong baby and that the "real Jill" was leading a far more exciting life roaming among the pyramids. At 16, Jill was sent to a Swiss finishing school to prepare for marriage. There she is temporarily freed from her intolerant home and finds happiness amongst her new friends. Jill Tweedie is a former Woman Journalist of the Year and the author of "In The Name of Love" and "Internal Affairs".
