Eric Wright is well known for his award-winning crime fiction. In this memoir he writes engagingly and with great charm about growing up poor in an English working-class family during the Depression. He paints a vivid picture of his childhood and adolescence in pre-war England plagued by class structure and restriction. This is a superbly written memoir and an invaluable portrait of a social class as well as the immigrant experience to this country.
