Caroline Lurie, Jolley's long-time literary agent, has compiled a collection of her articles, speeches, and essays in Central Mischief.

Jolley writes not only about her life—her childhood in the industrial Midlands of England, the Quaker boarding school she attended, and her experiences as a trainee nurse during WWII, migrating to Australia with three small children in the 1950s—but also about the importance of family and dignity in a changing society, the influence of place upon her work and the frustrations of being a writer.
