Patrick Garrett's Blog: Of Fortunes & War
January 16, 2017
Clare Hollingworth, 1911-2017
My great aunt Clare Hollingworth, the subject of my biography "Of Fortunes and War", sadly died last week in Hong Kong aged 105.
We will miss her, but she had a good innings, and leaves a fine journalistic legacy. Her press colleagues gave her an amazing sendoff - with front-page stories on publications around the world. She would have smiled.
I will be developing the blog section here on Goodreads, but in the meantime have been sharing elements of her story on Facebook under the @celebrateclare page.
I'd be happy to answer questions that anyone might have.
Best regards,
Patrick Garrett
