Description Don't put your daughter on the stage Mrs Harcourt! Miranda sparks off her mother kate - childhood, marriage, kids, career, cooking and gardening... Kate covers the whole caboodle. As Miranda leads us through the big events of recent decades she reveals her mother's journey from the backblocks of Canterbury to opera school in post-war London, back to Wellington, marriage, family and career. Incorporating sound archives and photographs old and new, this is the story of an extraordinary life, modestly but richly lived.
