The Things You Missed While You Were Away - Tapa blanda

‘The Things You Missed While You Were Away’ ‘Ten wrong spelling, ten red crosses. And judging by my teacher’s expression, they weren't meant to be kisses.’ For anyone who has been a child, this glimpse into my upbringing in the 60s and my daughter’s in the 90s proves when we lose someone special, love appears from unexpected places to fill our hearts. For anyone who has been a child, THE THINGS YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE AWAY is a 'funny, yet poignant' memoir. Based on a column I penned about my young daughter, Sophie, this book is written as a letter to my father highlighting the magical moments he never got to share with his grand-daughter. It shows even when we lose someone special, love comes from unexpected places to fill our hearts. Parents will enjoy it if for no other reason than to rejoice at the great job they're doing, compared to my inept attempts at bringing up baby. 'Hilarious. Funny, yet poignant.' Trish Jackson, author
