In 1960, Storm Jameson made a decision to write her memoirs. The effect was Journey from the North, one of the fantastic literary autobiographies of the century. Level One, first published in 1969, instructs of her youth in Whitby prior to the First World Warfare, the strong ties with her formidable mom, an early on love of the sea, her intellectual accomplishments at university or college and dropping in love. She vividly recalls her first matrimony and the delivery of her child; then came her first publication, work in London, and the profound happiness of her second matrimony to Man Chapman, the novelist and historian. In the '30s she became significantly involved with politics, and her accounts of the Depressive disorder and the rise of Fascism in Europe display her exceptional understanding of the years between the wars. But the most incredible quality of the autobiography is its fine truthfulness. Her candour - about wanting to be an designer, about failures of courage and of love, her devotion to her child and yet a need for a life of her own - is quite exceptional. Journey from the North is a brilliantly told story of a fascinating life.
