Publisher's Synopsis
I was five years old when my mother told me that she was not my mother ... This is the first line of Daisy's story which begins in 1916, when she is wrenched from her 'family', and plunged into a strange and confusing childhood. Her difficult relationship with her mother continues to overshadow the adult Daisy, especially in her often injudicious interactions with the men in her life. The enigmatic 'Sir', a benign but occasional presence in her childhood, encourages her fascination with photography, which leads her into a career that takes her to many dangerous places in Britain and Europe. Her work as a war photographer will influence attitudes across the world.
