520 _aIn this poignant memoir of his parents´ marriage, Alan Bennett recalls the lost world of his childhood and the lives, loves, and deaths of his unforgettable aunties, Kathleen and Myra. First published in the acclaimed collectionUntold Stories, this tender, intimate family portrait beautifully captures the Bennetts´ hopes, disappointments, and yearning for a life like other people´s. With the sudden descent of his mother into depression, and later dementia, Bennett uncovers a long-held family secret in this extraordinarily moving and at times irresistibly funny work of autobiography.
