The Muse by Nell Dunn (Paperback)

When Nell Dunn met Josie by chance at the age of 22, she learned from her how to live for the moment, how to have adventures and find the sweetness of life even in hardship. This was the Sixties, a time of literary and sexual experimentation, of the breakdown of old barriers and inhibitions. Josie always carried herself like a star, and became the inspiration for Dunn’s ground-breaking novel, “Poor Cow” about working class women and her celebrated play “Steaming’.

In prose of unique clarity and simplicity that always gets straight to the heart of the matter, “The Muse” follows this life-changing friendship over the decades.
