This is a lovely book. Sometimes I found the non-chronology a little hard to follow, but other than that it was pretty much perfect.

I wasn't sure I'd enjoy this because I can be a bit sceptical of the cottage industry that surrounds a lot of the more socially conscious memoirs, but this avoided all the usual pitfalls by not sensationalising the events while still telling a really engaging story. Jackie Kay also could clearly take a more academic approach to these topics but chooses to write in a more accessible way that still integrates those ideas and makes them feel intuitive.
