She's the author of the auto/biographical trilogy which includes the v olumes Girl with Dove (2018)\, No Boys Play Here (2021) and The Green Lady (2023): this tripartite coming-of-age narrative challenges traditional de marcations between literary categories to cast its own\, unconventional fo rm. Situated along the shifting relationship between fiction and non-ficti on\, the first two volumes are based on a story that builds momentum from a child's imaginative relationship between literary characters and artisti c forms as she searches for ways of seeing around difficulties. The third volume pushes this experimentation even further\, connecting personal and cultural memory\, archival sources and ‘imaginary biographies’\, in a composite narrative that shifts across epochs and is framed by imaginative and real contexts.\n\nThe discussion will focus on the third volume of th e trilogy\, highlighting how\, in Bayley’s works\, lived experiences bec ome material for her creative processes\, producing a hybrid narrative tha t simultaneously reads as an autobiographical\, biographical and/ or ficti onal work. Furthermore\, focusing on the concept of relationality that see s auto/biographical narrative not as a solitary but as a relational story\ , the discussion will underscore the relationship between the individual l ife and wider webs of familial\, social and historical structures\, testif ied by a shifting narrative voice that alternates between subjective and c ollective consciousness.\n\nSally Bayley is a prize-winning author. She is a fiction and non-fiction writer who lives on a narrowboat on the River T hames in Oxford. Sally was the first child to go to University from West S ussex County Council care services and she is a Lecturer in English at Her tford College. She also teaches academic writing\, literature\, film and c reative writing for the Sarah Lawrence Visiting Programme at Wadham Colleg e.
