Lewis, Wendy; Simon Balderstone & John Bowan (2006). Events That Shaped Australia. New Holland. p.75. ISBN 978-1-74110-492-9. Her hero worship of Richards is a major factor here. The great man himself is well aware of her views on him. She has interviewed him numerous times, once, remarkably, on the same day as his presumably rather more fraught encounter with the Daily Express reporter James Lawton. Devotion to Viv (“the guiding light”) became devotion to the West Indies team generally, and in particular their fast bowlers. (This has become a special subject for Savidge; she has co-authored a book on it).

Focussing in this way on sexual harassment and racism might suggest that this book is dark and depressing. In a sense it has to be said that there is an element of that. Right from the start of the book a recurring theme is Savidge’s extremely strong and close relationship with her parents, especially her father but her mother too. The seismic events in the narrative are their respective deaths and the impact their passing had on their daughter. To a considerable extent this is a book about grief. One senses that writing the book was a cathartic experience for Savidge; writing it was more important for her than getting it published. There are other issues that are remembered in detail too, such as a failed pregnancy, and post-natal depression. But even when describing the darkest times, Savidge writes with a light touch and in a deliciously self-deprecating style. At one point she is asking herself why such and such a thing was done or not done before her mother’s death, then she suddenly says “And why did Geoff Boycott run out Derek Randall at Trent Bridge in 1977?”
