The present article focuses on recovery memoirs, a sub-genre of life-writing, in particular those written by British women. Recovery memoirs have been burgeoning in the past two or three decades, yet they seem to be generally ignored as far as literary criticism is concerned. The main objective here, apart from shedding light on such memoirs, is to analyse how they reflect the process of personal change from alcohol dependence to sobriety.
