She has written four radio plays, two novels and an autobiography -- \u003ci\u003eThe Centre of The Bed\u003c\/i\u003e. Now in her 80s, she is still broadcasting. Though it may look as though she is now part of the establishment - a Dame, President of Birkbeck College, a Member of the House of Lords as Baroness Bakewell of Stockport - she's anything but and remains outspoken and courageous. In \u003ci\u003eStop the Clocks\u003c\/i\u003e, she muses on all she has lived through, how the world has changed and considers the things and values she will be leaving behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStop the Clocks\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of musings, a look back at what she was given by her family, at the times in which she grew up - ranging from the minutiae of life such as the knowledge of how to darn and how to make a bed properly with hospital corners, to the bigger lessons of politics, of lovers, of betrayal. She talks of the present, of her family, of friends and literature - and talks too of what she will leave behind. This is a thoughtful, moving and spirited book as only could be expected from this extraordinary woman.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bakewell, Joan","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47797160313171,"sku":"9780349006093","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/bakewell-joan-joan-bakewell-stop-the-clocks-z25-2016-hardback-9780349006093-54877305831763.jpg?v=1728168068","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/joan-bakewell-stop-the-clocks-z25-2016-hardback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
