This is such a fantastic book. It tells the story of the author and his 1970s childhood in rural Lancashire, focused on 101 objects that he has kept from his family home. Everyone's story is, of course, unique, but Garlick also tells a story of relevance to all of us - about growing up, families, and the emotional connections we have with the past through the objects that surround us. Elegantly written, funny and poignant, this book will strike a chord with anyone who has ever grappled with what to hold on to from their past.
