Drawing on the memories of many of his schoolboy contemporaries, as well as his own letters and diaries from the time, he reflects on the hopelessness and abandonment he felt at aged eight, viscerally describing the intense pain of homesickness and the appalling inescapability of it all. Exploring the long-lasting impact of his experiences, Spencer presents a candid reckoning with his past and a reclamation of his childhood"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010618.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20240402011455.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=56F47052F0B611EE96A0B47C3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
