Amanda Forman, who wrote the best-selling Georgina book, visited the
Livesey Collection in Preston for a BBC Radio 4 programme on the
temperance movement. I was interviewed briefly in it and it went out on
an afternoon slot on Radio 4. This was about 3-4 years ago.

Amanda Foreman spends a lot of time in New York which she praise often
in articles. I imagine she could contacted through the publishers of
'Georgina'. I've not come across any temperance book by her recently.

I wonder if anybody in AHTG could help with this one?  I have asked
my book supply agent also, but who knows, the subject knowledge may be
the
best pointer.

I am looking for a book by Amanda Forman (I think this is the
right spelling) on the history of the temperance movement. It is
assumed
that it's relatively recent. Its country of origin is unknown.

I have only found Amanda For(e)man writing about Georgiana Duchess of
Devonshire, which, whilst it might conceivably mention alcohol, I
cannot see
that as a history of the temperance movement!  Would you see if you can
do
any better please?


Many thanks
