About Penny Rome
Born in post-Independence India, Penny’s early years were marked by the lingering shadows of the Raj era and a noticeable absence of parental guidance. Her experiences in a patriarchal society and her candid reflections on these challenges are central to her narrative. Her writing is not just an account of her life but also a deep exploration of personal growth and self-discovery.
Penny’s storytelling prowess shines as she recounts the generations of her family, offering a candid glimpse into their lives, loves, misfortunes, and the profound impact of motherhood. Her journey is one of emotional self-healing, spiritual awakening, and personal development, as she navigates the complexities of relationships against a backdrop of cultural and social shifts.
Her memoir spans the bustling streets of Calcutta and the energetic vibe of London in the 1970s. Penny’s vivid descriptions bring her experiences to life, weaving a tapestry of diverse and rich experiences. Now settled in the serene landscapes of Sussex, she reflects on her path to fulfilment and shares the wisdom she has gained through a lifetime of introspection.
“I was hugely impressed with everything Spiffing did for me.”
“I was hugely impressed with everything Spiffing did for me and my book. I loved the book cover they designed, and having been scammed a couple of times previously by other companies, which meant I had a few ‘trust’ issues, it was a joy to deal with all you lovely people at Spiffing Publishing who made the process of getting my book out there such a pleasure. I also want to sing the praises of the editing by Caroline, who somehow magically managed to tighten up my story so that it became a much smoother read, and she also helped a lot with the back cover blurb.”
