An interesting biography about how a working class boy became a bibliophile, a piece of social history, and a love letter to books.
I must admit it was the first book I read by this author but I was fascinated by the storytelling and the sharp social remarks.
Upper class still defines what is culture and what is considered a good read. Working class is disappearing or becoming invisible, books are a sort of foreign object.
The love letter to books is great and love reading what the author thought.
It was an excellent read, highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
