A very different memoir about growing up in South Africa. 'Funny, never self-pitying and a pleasure to read' -- GUARDIAN '[An] affectionate, generous book' - IRISH TIMES 'Both haunting and funny. [Ecott] writes with compassion and honesty to give us a truly memorable account of an extraordinary upbringing' -- Fergal Keane 'Unputdownable - never sentimental, extremely honest and with a positively Dickensian cast of characters' - Emma Thompson
