Book of the Week
 | A richly detailed memoir capturing Dyer's upbringing in postwar Cheltenham, England. Blending humor and vivid recollections, it offers insights into class, aspiration, and familial dynamics.

It’s less about big life events and more about the small, weird details that shape who we become. If you like reflective writing that doesn’t take itself too seriously, this one’s a gem. |
