Description
A stunning new memoir from the number one bestselling, award-winning author of All the Things Left Unsaid and Staring at Lakes.
Michael Harding was twenty three when his father died; a parent who was sometimes distant and aloof, yet had a profound effect on the writer's life.
In the summer of 2023, Harding took a short holiday in Spain, walking the Camino de Santiago, during which he began to unpack the long ago trauma of losing a father he never really knew, and, in the end, finding a father he never doubted.
In this new book, he examines how the parent shapes the child, and how the child, in turn, becomes a parent in the search for that which makes us whole - love.
Praise for Michael Harding's writing:

'Wonderful' John Boyne
'Hilarious, and tender, and mad, and harrowing, and wistful, and always beautifully written' Kevin Barry
