    The real Juanita Carberry story
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 14 December 2012*

I have the large print version of this book.What a story she has to tell ! It is one that I first came accross through seeing the BBC TV film "the Happy Valley" (on VHS video entitled "Over  Indulgence", possibly in NTSC format not PAL, from Amazon.com).The film is magnificent, well filmed and acted, and very moving; it covers Juanita's life at age fifteen, though there is too much emphasis on her  being punished. Many of the details of the film are according to the book, though the order of some events is changed. There is however far more in the book than in the film; the book and the film complement each other very well. The book covers Juanita's life up to her joining the womans' territorials. She has numerous adventures, speaks local languages and is much more at ease with those outside the Happy Valley set than with her so called parents the Carberrys. There sounds to have been a terrible lack of kindness in her childhood. John Carberry was a sadistic monster. I wont spoil the story with further details.It would be interesting to hear what happened in the rest of her life. (Juanita Carberry died in July 2013 aged 88.)

    Ghastly childhood.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 June 2014*

Juanita ( wonderful irish connection) grew up in Kenya quite unloved, yet having lived amongst drug addicts and alcoholics she turned her live around and despite her father cutting her off without a penny she does not dwell on his failures. It comes across to me that her father did love her though after a fashion, there were after all trips to England holidays in France boarding schools in the UK and finishing schools in Switzerland.A good read if at times the prose is quaint-I don't think small farmers in Cork who lived on or by their estate Castle Freke would like themselves being referred to as 'peasants'.
