Synopsis

This memoir of 1950s childhood tells the story of a Jewish boy who grew up to become an artist and best-selling author. It begins with Harold Carlton's deadpan journey through 1950s North London, from circumcision (by a Kosher butcher) to funeral. By the time we reach the climax of his story, we've recognised quirks, problems, jokes and sadnesses that exist in the best of families, but more so in this one.
