Opis
Opis
A moving and thought-provoking account of an impossible situation.' - Louis de Bernieres, author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin
At 50, Sophie Calon's father was a high-flying lawyer. At 55, he was found dead in Cardiff city centre at Christmas. Meanwhile he had pinballed between tents, homeless shelters, and prison cells. His story is a lesson in how alcoholism can consume a person – and a family.
Long Going is a powerful, unflinching memoir that sings with Calon's love for her eccentric, witty father while recounting his drink-fuelled disintegration. In telling his story, Calon explores her family's instability and pain as well as her own survival.
'This portrait pulls no punches… profoundly life-affirming. Everyone who has an alcoholic in the family should read this book for its compassionate awareness of the damage and chaos caused by addiction, while never forgetting the humanity of the person caught in that trap. A wonderful book.' - Gwyneth Lewis, author of Nightshade Mother
