Recommended - This is the Place to Be by Lara Pawson

08.08.2018 by Jo //

This is the Place to Be by Lara Pawson
£8.99 / paperback

Reserve

Formed as a series of anecdotes, encounters and memories, which intersperse the author's time as a war reporter in Angola with snapshots from a suburban childhood and feelings about her return to 'normal' life after Angola, this book is fiercely honest and compelling. Pawson explores gender, race, identity, voyeurism and inequality and the book's fragmented structure unfolds like a real sequence of thought patterns making it an intimate and moving read. Strongly recommend.
