Quote by Kate Atkinson
My father was an autodidact. It wasnt a middle-class house. Shopke

My father was an autodidact. It wasnt a middle-class house. Shopkeepers are aspirant. He paid for me to go to private school. He was denied an education – he had a horrible childhood. He got a place at a grammar school and wasnt allowed to go. – Kate Atkinson
