"Memories of the Future: Being Memoirs of the Years 1915–1972" by Opal, Lady Porstock, is a personal memoir written in the late 20th century. The work chronicles the author’s life experiences and reflections from her childhood up until the early 1970s, spanning historical events and personal growth. Through her unique perspective, the book offers insights into societal changes, family dynamics, and the evolving roles of women in the early to mid-20th century. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to Opal's early years beginning in 1915, set against the backdrop of significant historical events such as World War I. It reflects on her childhood memories, including her family background, the dynamics at her home in the village of Barstoke, and some early formative experiences, such as an air raid during the war. The passages reveal her family's socio-economic status and how external circumstances, like her father's rise to nobility, impacted her upbringing. The author paints vivid pictures of her formative environment, including descriptions of various family members, her recollections of life as an only child, and her transition into the outside world, alluding to the profound influence these early experiences had on her development as an individual.
