lots of trigger warnings but an important book to read in one's lifeleseratte69's review against another edition
4.0
This book is one of its kind as a literary autobiography. As it’s a coming of age story, the chapters seem more like short stories. I found myself getting lost in the detail and so found it harder to be absorbed in the story.
Quotes I found wonderful were:
‘One girl, whose name and face have melted into the years’
‘He was forever dropping slangy terms into his sentences like dumplings in a pot’
‘Bailey was the greatest person in the world. And the fact that he was my brother, my only brother, and I had no sisters to share him with, was such a good fortune that it made me want to live a Christian life just to show God that I was grateful.’
