Only: A Singular Memoir von Caroline Baum
Many of us have watched CB on television and at Writers' Festivals as well as reading her book reviews. Interesting to hear about her privileged but very challenging upbringing - an only child brought up by parents who had limited experience being children themselves and identities they'd had to forge for themselves.

½There's only one word to describe this book adequately - masterful. One of the best books I've read in years.
I'd say this is the best book I've read for months. It's beautifully written. Honest. Self-deprecating. Deeply insightful. Joyous, sad and funny in turns. Maybe because I can see my 70th birthday from here, I was specially moved by her descriptions of the challenges of old age, but the early history of her parents' themselves is a deep emotional well. HIghly recommended. Should win awards. And sales!
