Eden Halt by Ross Skelton
The memoir sensitively evokes a boyhood spent escaping to the hills on a home-made bicycle and raising racing pigeons in a make-shift loft. Reconstructing a time and place long gone, Ross Skelton pieces together the fragments that constitute a life, and gave rise to his career as a psychoanalyst and writer.We read, as if memory is being assembled in front of usIt is this precision, thebeautifully executed detail, that makes Eden Halt a deeply moving memoir.’– Roddy Doyle
