After Bunty

This is another of my columns for the Swedish paper, Goteborgs-Posten. Summer 2014 I’ve always thought of myself as an independent sort of woman. From around 1970 until the turn of the century, I had my own flats and mostly lived alone in them. Only twice did I share my space with a man, and […]
