Clinging to the Wreckage: A Part of Life
John Mortimer
Recounting his solitary childhood in the English countryside, the author presents affectionate portraits of his remote parents - an increasingly unconventional barrister father, whose blindness must never be mentioned, battling earwigs in the mutinous garden, and a vague and endlessly patient mother.
