The Scent of Dried Roses: One family and the end of English Suburbia - an elegy - Penguin Modern Classics
Tim Lott
An exploration of the author's parents' lives, his mother's inexplicable suicide in her late fifties and his own bouts of depression. It conjures up the pebble-dashed home of his childhood and the landscape of postwar suburban England. It tells a story of grief, loss and dislocation, yet also of the power of memory and the bonds of family love.
