No. I had, for a very long time,decided to tell the absolute truth. No rhymes, no embellishments

it would be just as accurate to call it my first novel

00:00:06.505 --> 00:00:11.076

I wrote several drafts as far back as my time at St Thomas' Hospital during the War

00:00:12.553 --> 00:00:15.055

I just couldn't ever find the way to do it

00:00:15.806 --> 00:00:18.309

Because the novel is autobiographical is that right

00:00:18.392 --> 00:00:21.896

Yes entirely I haven't changed any names including my own

00:00:21.979 --> 00:00:23.772

And was that the problem

00:00:25.232 --> 00:00:26.233

No

00:00:27.151 --> 00:00:31.864

I had for a very long time decided to tell the absolute truth

00:00:33.407 --> 00:00:35.576

No rhymes no embellishments

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.337

سيكون أكثر دقة أن ندعوها روايتي الأولى

00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:11.719

كتبت مسودات عديدة منذ وجودي في مشفى سانت توماس أثناء الحرب

00:00:12.511 --> 00:00:15.013

فقط لم أجد الطريق للقيام بذلك

00:00:15.805 --> 00:00:18.266

لأن الرواية هي سيرة ذاتية صحيح

00:00:18.035 --> 00:00:21.854

أجل كليا لم أغي ر أية أسماء حتى اسمي

00:00:21.937 --> 00:00:23.771

أهذه هي المشكلة

00:00:25.106 --> 00:00:26.233

كلا

00:00:27.108 --> 00:00:31.862

لقد قررت منذ وقت طويل أن أقول الحقيقة

00:00:33.364 --> 00:00:35.532

بلا قافية ولا تحسين

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.033

il serait plus exact de dire que c'est mon premier

00:00:06.506 --> 00:00:11.713

À l'époque quand j'étais infirmière à Saint Thomas j'ai écrit plusieurs versions

00:00:12.512 --> 00:00:15.001

Je ne savais pas comment raconter

00:00:15.807 --> 00:00:18.262

Parce que ce roman est autobiographique n'est ce pas

00:00:18.351 --> 00:00:21.085

Oui entièrement Je n'ai changé aucun nom le mien y compris

00:00:21.938 --> 00:00:23.765

Et c'était ça le problème

00:00:25.108 --> 00:00:26.222

Non

00:00:27.011 --> 00:00:31.855

J'avais décidé depuis longtemps de ne raconter que la stricte vérité

00:00:33.366 --> 00:00:35.524

Sans rimes sans fioritures

00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:05.331

sería igual de acertado considerarla mi primer novela

00:00:06.507 --> 00:00:09.112

Escribí varios borradores cuando estuve

00:00:09.113 --> 00:00:11.717

en el hospital St Thomas durante la Guerra

00:00:12.516 --> 00:00:15.991

Sólo que nunca encontré la manera de hacerlo

00:00:15.812 --> 00:00:18.269

Porque la novela es autobiográfica cierto

00:00:18.357 --> 00:00:21.858

Sí totalmente No he cambiado ningún nombre incluido el mío

00:00:21.946 --> 00:00:23.773

Y ese era el problema

00:00:25.117 --> 00:00:26.232

No

00:00:27.012 --> 00:00:31.867

Había decidido desde hacía mucho contar la absoluta verdad

00:00:33.378 --> 00:00:35.538

Sin rimas ni adornos
