Picador, 1999, Medium-format Paperback   - Memoir - 330pp.
Set in 1970s Manchester, "Once in a House on Fire" tells the true story of three sisters and their mother, a close-knit and loving family forced to battle with poverty, abuse and the effects of depression.
Beautifully written and deeply inspiring, it is a book that will stay with its readers forever. Andrea never gives in to despair and finds a haven in the work of great writers-Joyce, Eliot, D. H. Lawrence, and others-who allow her to see a world beyond her own and set her on her path toward intellectual and artistic awakening.
'This is a brilliant book. Brilliantly written, brilliantly thought, brilliantly remembered . . . Ashworth has written an extraordinary memoir; the only pity is that she had to live it to make it' " - Scotsman"
'Enchanting and thrilling . . . As a chronicle of northern working-class life in the seventies and eighties . . . it would be hard to better this book. It is extremely moving . . . It is also at time surprisingly, and gratifyingly, very funny' - Tim Lott, "The Times"
'Full of energy, wit and a child's wide-open gaze . . . Andrea Ashworth escaped the fire to write a remarkable book' - Blake Morrison, " Independent on Sunday"
