BORE DA A NOS DA : Good Morning & Good Night

by Emma Smith, Hilda Edwards

Standing strong at 93 years old with a lust for life, she is my inspiration, her very essence empowers me, and motivates me to carry on through all of life’s challenges. Once a daughter, a sister, a mother, a wife, a widow, a grandmother, now a woman. A woman of great strength and courage, takes on her biggest battle. Sharing the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, with her loved ones and the world. Beginning as a showcase of all the exciting and fantastic stories she experienced throughout her life time; Twisted truths, stand to be corrected in this tale of love, life and struggles, even World War II is no match for her.

EMMA SMITH was born in Cornwall in 1923 and was privately educated. In 1939 she took her first job in the Records Department of the War Office before volunteering for work on the canals; this gave her the material for Maidens' Trip (1948), which won the John Llewellyn Rhys Memorial Prize. She spent the winter of 1946-7 with a documentary film unit in India and then lived in Paris and wrote The Far Cry (1949), awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for the best novel of the year in English. In 1951 Emma Smith married and had two children. After her husband's death in 1957 she went to live in rural Wales; she then published very successful children's books, short stories (one of which was runner-up in the 1951 Observer short story competition that launched the winner, Muriel Spark, on her career) and, in 1978, her novel The Opportunity of a Lifetime. Since 1980 she has lived in Putney in south-west London.
