Description

When Mikey Cuddihy was orphaned at the age of nine, her life exploded.

She and her siblings were sent from New York to board at experimental Summerhill School, in Suffolk, and abandoned there.

The setting was idyllic, lessons were optional, pupils made the rules.

Joan Baez visited and taught Mikey guitar. The late sixties were in full swing, but with total freedom came danger.

Mikey navigated this strange world of permissiveness and neglect, forging an identity almost in defiance of it.

A Conversation About Happiness is a vivid and intense memoir of coming of age amidst the unravelling social experiment of sixties and seventies Britain.
