Description
Tracey Thorn's memoir offers a candid and humorous look at her teenage years, growing up in suburban England. With great wit and insight, she reconsiders the post-war dream of the Green Belt, a concept that has been both mocked and romanticized by artists. Thorn's story takes us beyond the surface-level nostalgia for 1970s and 80s music culture, instead exploring the complexities of her own upbringing and the aspirations of those around her. A tender and often humorous account, this memoir is a thoughtful reflection on identity, belonging, and the search for one's place in the world. This book is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of art, family, and adolescence, written with characteristic intelligence and humor by a musician and writer who has made a lasting impact on British popular culture.
