Adopted as a child in the 1950s, 50 years on the author recounts his voyage of discovery as he tries to find his natural mother, and also finds out more about his adoptive parents and the class divide along the way.

[...] this is more than a tale of family ties. [...] dates - and even genes - are less crucial to this narrative than its author's extraordinary feeling for the texture of the social fabric of Britain. It is minutely done and yet so sparely. Harding is a conjurer. Give him a long-since demolished stairwell, and he'll give you a world - its sound, its smell, the feeling that you could stumble upon it still.
