My Father's Fortune: A Life ReviewFirst things first: the *New York Times Book Review* review by Christopher Buckley says that the first 70 pages of this book are unendurably boring, and then it gets better. No. The first 70 pages are charming, winsome, engrossing, and so is the rest of the book. It's great from the start, so much humor, humility, and common sense mixed with erudition. It's a story about moving from real poverty into the middle class, and the narrator learns as much from his father, an asbestos salesman, as he learns at Cambridge. It's also a close-up look at WWII from a child's-eye view (literally: from various bomb shelters, some homemade, some government-issued). Unlike American memoirs, which specialize in salacious revelation, it's full of hardship but nothing lurid, no skeletons in this closet. Love is always present, gratitude too, and a sense of proportion and good humor, no matter how hard life gets. It's a book that reminds you most lives are difficult and beautiful at the same time.My Father's Fortune: A Life Overview
