Book Reviews of The Boys of My Youth
Book Review: What a fabulous book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Why has no-one else reviewed this book? It is just wonderful. Usually 'autobiographies ' put me off but this was brill - written with the immediacy of fiction and so not-banal. I can't write well enough to properly reccomend this but it is a series of reminisences (sp)about an ordinary yet remarkable life made so by the telling. The part where the mother is dying catches you unawares in its everyday pathos. Children growing up cruel and real. What a book!
