Tale of a Hip

The Tale of a Hip is an account of the author’s 80-year life to date, through a period of huge social change, during which, technology has taken over from nature. It is the story of true love lasting six decades, despite the fact that physical aspects of the relationship were less good than they might have been, due to an unsuspected structural problem that only came to light when Pamela and her husband, John, took up dancing in their 40s.

The mystery of Pamela’s shifting bones is unravelled piece by piece, from art-influenced early years in Yorkshire, through the excitement and romance of working in a burgeoning post-war London, to marriage and, later, to obsession with dancing, resulting in back and hip issues for many years.

Povestea unui sold este o relatare a vietii de 80 de ani a autorului pana in prezent, printr-o perioada de imense schimbari sociale, in care tehnologia a preluat natura. Este povestea iubirii adevarate care dureaza sase decenii, in ciuda faptului ca aspectele fizice ale relatiei au fost mai putin bune decat ar fi putut fi, datorita unei probleme structurale nebanuite care a iesit la iveala doar cand Pamela si sotul ei, John, au preluat danseaza in anii 40. Misterul oaselor schimbatoare ale Pamelei este dezlegat bucata cu bucata, de la primii ani influentati de arta in Yorkshire, prin entuziasmul si romantismul de a lucra intr-un Londra infloritor de dupa razboi, la casatorie si, mai tarziu, la obsesia cu dans, rezultand probleme de spate si sold de multi ani.
