In this title, the author describes how childhood segued into adulthood and parenthood in the company of his restless mother.

Recenzii

"This is a small masterpiece" -- DJ Taylor Independent on Sunday "Sharply observed, emotionally true and metaphorically rich" -- J Robert Lennon Guardian "I loved this very affectionate and haunting portrayal of Russo's mother and the glove-making world gone by. The man as a boy watching his own mother's helpless and scattered journey through her illness, describing in touching detail what the boy knew but only the man can say. It reminds me of the power that a personal story can have" -- Hugo Hamilton author of 'The Speckled People' "Absorbing memoir" -- Robert Collins Sunday Times "A beautifully executed book easeful and lucid in tone but spiked with a few telling moments of observation, humour and violence" -- Keith Miller Daily Telegraph
