'A really remarkable, deeply moving book' RICHARD CURTIS
'I gulped it down in one swift swallow' HOLLIE MCNISH
This is the story of Luke Wright's adoption - the life he leads, the one he might have done, and the questions thrown up in between. Should he feel close to the biological brothers he knows only through social media? Do his beginnings in a rough tower-block estate offset the privilege of a suburban upbringing? How grateful should he be to adopted parents who are - in the end - simply parents?
In this memoir in poetry, no emotion is simple or expected. With pinpoint honesty, Luke illuminates the gaps in the familiar beats of an adoption story.
