Perennials PERENNIALS constant friends A selection of novels, memoirs and more by some of our favourite authors. I watched a programme about her where she talked about many of the episodes in her books frankly and movingly.My favourite scene in the book is right at the beginning, when Anna's friend is discussing Hitler with Anna.
