This book surprised me. I was delightedly hooked within the first couple of chapters. Very well written. Most of the book deals with the authors childhood until the age of 14 when they went to formal schooling. After that the writing changes somewhat to a more adult perspective and there are gaps in the account where correspondence is now the news you learn about the family. It left me wanting more, but in a good way. What an interesting life.
