I won this book but am not quite sure who or from who. I guess it might be one of the competitions I do on the Penguin site. It just turned up one day and I thought, hey this sounds interesting. And it was.
It is an amazing auto biography of a lad being brought up in USA whose parents are devout (and I think that is the right word) socialists. They truly believe in the workers revolutions. He tells how this has so affected his life, his childhood and his view on being an adult. I just really liked it. I guess I have read stories like this when children grow up in very religious environments but to hear it from a political point of view was really interesting. The choices his parents made in order to follow their principles and how his life had been because of this.
If you want a good and different read I recommend this. I think it is a keeper - something I will read again.
