A review by emmkayt
Maggie & Me by Damian Barr

4.0

I devoured this memoir on a flight (and then, in a happy haze, left my iPad in the seat-pocket, argh). I wasn't previously familiar with Barr, a British journalist. His tale of growing up poor and gay in 1980s Scotland was fantastic. Funny and poignant. He might perhaps have done a slightly better job weaving in the bits about Thatcher, but what was there was thought-provoking.
