BOOK DESCRIPTION
Maggots, Mothers and Misdemeanours.
Celia's 88-year-old mother's body was found in her home five days after her death - and in the summer heat of southern Andalucia.
Offspring from several husbands and other indescretions had been emerging before her death.
Bloodlines is the true story of society, illegitimacy, and scandal and the author's search for her family roots.
About the Author
Celia Honnywill enjoyed a privileged background - brought up in the English countryside with loving parents, ponies and pets, she lacked for virtually nothing.
An out-going, positive attitude will be reflected in her forthcoming autobiography which tells in brutally honest and amusing fashion of a chequered career, worldwide travel, and four marriages with subsequent divorces.
Bloodlines is dedicated to Celia's adoptive parents to whom she owes everything - except her birth.
Just days before Celia died in September 2009, she spoke for the last time to her publisher.
Meeting her birth mother and family in Montejaque , she told him, that holding the first proof copy of her book Bloodlines in her hand and being able to encourage others in their own search, were the most wonderful experiences of her life.
