Half a Pair of People

This is an early 1980s memoir of a one-time debutante who left an unhappy marriage to live in Oxford. She had curtsied to the Queen, had been the lady of the manor, and a magistrate for twenty years Finding a new niche in society included enrolling in the Open University, playing the fairy in a pantomime, and being the solo chef in a boil-in-a-bag hotel. A new, important, and interesting discovery was how vulnerable Huth had become as a single woman. She joined a women's support group and volunteered at the Oxford Rape Crisis Centre. She remarried in 1993 and shared the raising of her husband's children. He died in 2017and Huth now partners a retired professor.
