Constable & Robinson will be publishing Clare Peake's memoir of her parents in May 2011. The youngest of Mervyn and Maeve Peake's three children, Clare recalls her early life in Surrey and Kensington and the death of her father when she was only nineteen. Viewed from a very different perspective from that of her brothers, Under a Canvas Sky recounts a life full of amusing anecdotes and stories set against the tragic background of her father's premature demise in 1968.
