Grief in the Van
An Adult Orphan, A Cat and A Tiny Home-on-Wheels
A memoir
“Throughout the narrative are raw accounts of personal grief in all its unpredictability and severity – authentically told and affecting. This deeply nostalgic and visceral memoir reveals a challenging path toward progress, and may provide comfort and guidance for anyone wrestling with this unifying human emotion.” Self-Publishing Review ★★
Victoria Clayton
Writing memoir, narrative non-fiction, even a little poetry now and then.
I was born in the UK of a Scottish mother and an Australian father and grew up in Melbourne.
I have been a field archaeologist, excavating in Syria, Turkey, Jordan and Australia, and an English teacher in Melbourne and China, among a ridiculous number of other occupations.
Travel, museums, libraries and ancient figurines are a few of my favourite things.
I also know a bit about parental demise, dementia, loss and grief.
Now I live in a van somewhere in Australia with Dougal, the cat, and I write about all of it.
**Admittedly I now live in an apartment in the city but my heart will always be on a road somewhere...
