An extraordinary memoir about family, the past and mortality, and the final work from the peerless Jonathan Raban.

Qty:

On 11 June 2011, three days short of his sixth-ninth birthday, Jonathan Raban suffered a stroke which left him unable to use the right side of his body, wheelchair-bound in a rehab facility and endlessly frustrated by his newfound physical limitations. As he resisted the overbearing ministrations of the nurses helping him along the road to recovery, Raban began to reflect not only on the measure of his own life but the extraordinary story of his parents' early marriage, conducted for three years by letter while his father fought in the Second World War.
