The Field

Tales of life, light and laughter

An Unanchored Heart

With the advent of the Christ Child’s birth upon us, it hardly seems appropriate to be recommending these memoirs so wholeheartedly. Great swathes are really quite naughty: we have a frank account of sex in a Parisian porn shop as well as details of anger-fuelled shenanigans in rustic Greece.

But it would be priggish to fail to extol the joys of this book, as the reflections of this contributor are such a rompingly absorbing read, by turns funny, touching, moving and, yes, shocking, in almost equal measure.
