'A funny, touching account of Joanna Moorhead's unexpected friendship with the wildly imaginative painter and writer who happened to be her long-lost cousin . . . She is lucky to have found such a memorialist' Peter Conrad, Obesrver
Leonora Carrington was the last surviving member of the Surrealist movement of the 1930s. A prodigious painter and writer, lover of Max Ernst, friend of Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Marcel Duchamp, Joan Miro, Lee Miller, Peggy Guggenheim and many more, she eventually fled war-torn Europe to become part of the art scene in New York; and from there journeyed to Mexico where she befriended Frida Kahlo and eventually became a Mexican national treasure.
But during Joanna Moorhead's childhood all she knew was that there had been a wild child cousin called Prim who had fled the Lancashire family.
This book is the story of Leonora Carrington's life, and of the friendship between two women. And it's about surrealism as Leonora lived it: a way of approaching the world and a way of working out, if not the answers, then at least some of the questions.
'A charming and at times inspirational book' Literary Review
'An intimate portrait of this wild child of surrealism' Tate etc.
