Love Without Allusion - Henrietta R Cornell

Henrietta R. Cornell — but you can call her Hetty — is the kind of woman who’s lived, laughed, cried in Tesco (Aisle 6, Feminine Hygiene), and still come out swinging with a glass of wine in one hand and a sequin in her hair. A proud mother, loyal friend, and certified chaos magnet, Hetty writes with a wicked glint in her eye and a heart full of stories. Her life has included three husbands, a few affairs (and one involving a Mondeo boot), and a circle of mad, magnificent women who’ve kept her upright, honest, and occasionally out of prison. Love Without Allusion is her memoir-novel debut — a raw, riotous and emotionally rich celebration of surviving it all, one inappropriate giggle at a time. When she’s not writing, Hetty can be found laughing too loudly, telling the truth too bluntly, and living life without illusion.

GENRE: Memoir/Autobiographical Humour

Blurb:

Love, laughter, and a little light trespassing into the past. Meet Hetty: Catholic, chaotic, and three weddings deep into a life that refuses to be beige. In this wickedly funny memoir, Henrietta R Cornell shares her journey through husbands, heartbreak, and hormonal havoc — complete with misadventures in graveyards, clingfilm lovers, cornetto disasters, and a cousin who really should’ve known better. From caring for her mother in a loo-filled house to dodging flying fir cones mid-fellatio.
