  • Ones a poner time on Jan. 15, 2012

    Those familiar with Ilsa Evans' fiction works will find the same humour and heartbreak in 'Onse a poner time', a memoir that exposes both the good and the not so good times of Ms Evans' life. This book does not shy away from those things that are often judged harshly by some in society, from exploits in the armed forces to issues that are deeply personal in life, love and relationships. It would be easy to brand this book as an example of the triumph of the human spirit, the strength of surviving the sometimes awful things that life can throw at people. Instead I would call it an example of how our experiences can shape us without being the means by which we are defined.
