Description
Polly Toynbee's family has been a force for social change for generations, but their own experiences of class and privilege have always been complex. In this deeply personal and thought-provoking book, Toynbee explores the tension between her family's ideals of class equality and their own privileged backgrounds.
Through a fascinating examination of her own family's history, Toynbee sheds light on the myth of mobility and the guilt of privilege. With a keen eye for detail and a razor-sharp mind, she asks for a truly honest conversation about class in Britain.
Partly a family history, partly a social commentary, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of class in modern Britain.
