The Sarah Wainwright Story is exactly that. It is an old lady telling her life story but in an unusual way. Most of the chapters would stand alone as short stories but when read in sequence they follow a story line. The chapters are written in a variety of ways. The book begins in the first person then switches to the third. One chapter is written as a letter to a friend. Two chapters are written as extracts from a journal. Each chapter has a linking introduction. The pace of the story varies. Somtimes it is very fast and intense but then is followed with a slower section to give the reader breathing space. In the beginning Sarah, unhappily married with two sons, attempts to escape. Firstly she has an affair which results in the birth of a son whom she relinquishes for adoption. The effects of the adoption last a lifetime but for years Sarah does not recognise the cause of her depression. Although she leads a life packed with events with which most women will identify she never really forgets her son. She searches for him with unexpected results.
