Produktbeskrivning
''An incredibly honest tale of survival, escape and resilience'' The Observer
''Roche is a charming, unflinchingly honest guide on a journey that''s as funny as it is heart-breaking.'' JUNO DAWSON
How does an untrained eye recognise the process of dying, when your mind is fixed firmly on living?
A radically honest and uplifting memoir about defying death and learning to live.
Juno Roche was born into a working-class family in London in the sixties, who dabbled in minor crimeFor their father, violence and love lived together; for their mother, addiction was the only way to survive. School was a respite, but shortly after beginning their university course Juno was diagnosed with HIV, then a death sentence.
Juno is a survivor; they outlived their diagnosis, got a degree and became an artistBut however hard you try to take the kid out of the family, some scars go too deep; trying to run from AIDS and their childhood threw Juno into dark years of serious drug addiction, addiction often financed by sex work.
Running from home eventually took Juno across the sea to a tiny village in Spain, surrounded by mountainsOnly once they found a quiet little house with an olive tree in the garden did Juno start to wonder if they had run too far, and whether they have really been searching for a family all along.
In an incredibly honest and brave book, Juno takes us through the moments of their life: Mum sending Christmas cards containing Valium, drug withdrawal on a River Nile cruise, overcoming their father''s violence and finding their dream house in SpainShowing immense resilience, Juno''s memoir is a book about what it means to stay alive.
Emotional, tragic and incredibly funny, A Working-Class Family Ages Badly is an unforgettable must-read memoir for anyone who loves Educated, Deborah Levy and Motherwell.
