About this book
Living Backwards: A Transatlantic Memoir incorporates November 1948 into a longer work that takes the ten-year-old author from a small gray Yorkshire village to the bright postwar boom of Los Angeles and back again at fourteen to the sober mill region of his ancestors. Back "home" without his family, he struggles with the loneliness of adolescence and the eccentric strangers of his new life.
