PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Shelley Klein was born in Scotland in 1963, the youngest daughter of textile designer Bernat and knitwear designer Margaret Klein. She left the See-Through House in 2017 and now lives in London where she works as a writer.
A sad, funny, utterly fascinating book about families, home and how to say goodbye -- Mark Haddon [A] finespun, magical new grief memoir... a beautifully structured book... Klein is a witty observer, even in the case of her own sorrow, which she rifles through and puzzles over with wry candour. Desolation and humour are expertly balanced throughout... I suppose it is strange that grief should produce such a life-affirming book, but it has. Read it for the solace it contains, or for its captivating descriptions. Either way, it's a delight. -- Lucy Davies * The Telegraph * A luminous book, full of light and colour, and a remarkable reflection on childhood and untold stories -- Edmund de Waal Original, moving and bracingly honest... often hilarious... Each room has particular memories for Klein. And her journey through them is also a psychological quest, an attempt to understand how the house shaped her personality and whether she can ever get free of her attachment -- Blake Morrison * Guardian * Enthralling... a fascinating exploration of the influence of a domestic setting on mind and spirit, as well as of a fraught father-daughter relationship -- Christina Hardyment * The Times *
