Bad Blood (Sage book)
Book by Lorna Sage
Bad Blood is a 2000 work blending collective biography and memoir by the Anglo-Welsh literary critic and academic Lorna Sage.
Set in post-war North Wales, it reflects on the dysfunctional generations of a family, its problems, and their effect on Sage. It won the 2001 Whitbread Book Biography of the Year seven days before Sage died of emphysema.[1]
James Fenton wrote in The New York Review of Books: "What makes the book remarkable is the individual story she has to tell, and which she delivers with such glee."[2]
The Guardian ranked Bad Blood at number 89 in its list of 100 Best Books of the 21st Century in September 2019.[3]
