Family romance is a beautifully written memoir in which the author solves the mysteries of his parents histories, their extraordinary secrets and the shape of their shared life. From rural Ireland to colonial Rhodesia and Hong Kong, Lanchester navigates through his parents histories - his father Bills devastating war-time separation from his parents; his mother Julias tragic first love, her decision to become a nun and her adoption of a new identity.
