'A beautifully observed portrait of a lost world...a voice that is wise, engaging, and humane.'

'...an enthralling book about the magic of the ordinary, the author's recalling of his young life in a world so close to and so different from ours. It's wise, and funny, and sad, and beautifully written.'
Professor Helen Cooper

'Writing that matters, about what matters - the mystery of our being human.'
Nicole Jouve Ward
