DESCRIPTION & REVIEWS
A funny, furious and rousing account of a life lived in triumphant opposition to the limitations and systemic inequalities of a working-class woman’s life.
Underestimated and overlooked at each stage and age, Maya Jordan’s ambition and resilience was born in the library and nourished by reading and the Open University – through early motherhood, precarious housing, caring responsibilities and chronic disability – to a point where she finally seizes her right to write.
‘A triumphant success story about clearing a path for yourself and finding the freedom, words, and perhaps courage in mid-life to put pen to paper’
Claire Malcolm, New Writing North
‘A curse on being ordinary! Wrong is not her name. Her name is Maya Jordan. She is a noisy woman and we should fear her’
Michael Sheen
‘If love and grief and despair and possibility all make sense to you – then you want to read this’
Stella Duffy, author of The Room of Lost Things
