Description
A poignant and deeply personal memoir about the complex relationship between a father and son. John Burnside's story is one of loss, guilt, and redemption, set against the backdrop of a world shaped by masculinity and drink.
This beautifully written account explores the ways in which men are formed and fall apart, and the importance of forgiveness and understanding in healing old wounds.
