Having just watched Alan and Miriam Margolyes go around Scotland and talk about his father, and then , straight after, seeking out the episode of “Who Do you think” It was a natural progression for me to pick up this slice of memoir. I say “slice” because this memoir concentrates very much on his relationship with his father and then mirrors it by investigating her mother's lack of relationship (for reasons that will become clear) with hers. In all cases this a a heartfelt book that does not come across as contrived or agrandised. In Audiobook format it was a gem.
