My first memories are of the Isle of Man, where I lived as a small child. When my family relocated to Leeds, I grew up dreaming of fairies and of the sea (I still do). In my early twenties I moved to London to embark on an acting career, then to Paris, where I continued my theatre training before creating a theatre company and becoming a clown (red nose included). Returning to London almost a decade later, I worked in a shoe shop while studying for a creative writing degree at Birkbeck University. To keep the wolf from my door I've had many jobs, including working in shops and cafes and kitchens, sometimes in offices and most recently in an art gallery. These days I live on the edge of London with my husband and our plump (she's got big bon ...more

A Girl Made of Air by Nydia Hetherington
"A girl made of air benefits from a storytelling method of letters, newspaper articles and stories.

We follow our nameless heroine as she navigates life through the circus, all while trying to find someone from her past.

Quotes by Nydia Hetherington  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Do not be defined by a lover, or by anyone else for that matter. You are not an appendage, an add-on to the masculine world. And so, you must have your independence – not only of thought and spirit, but physical and financial. Independence will be your strength. Find it. Hold on to it. It is freedom, Mouse, and it will serve you well.”
Nydia Hetherington, A Girl Made of Air

“To dream is to live with your face brightened by moonlight. Yet dreams are only a shadow, my Mouse, a pale and rippled reflection of the way things could be. I know what a dreamer you are; we are cut from the same fabric where that’s concerned. But, if our dreams come true, we risk tainting them with the hard edge of reality. Sometimes it’s a risk worth taking, like working hard to become the greatest funambulist who ever lived. And, sometimes, it’s best to leave well alone and let daydreams stay in the world of our imagination. The trick is, finding which to leave and which to follow.”

“All we can do is perform our lives as gloriously as possible. For my part, I’m happy to take my applause where I can. This is the end because I cannot write the next chapter, it needs to be lived.”
