We live today in a culture of full disclosure, where tell-all memoirs top the best-seller lists, transparency is lauded, and privacy seems imperiled. But how did we get here?

Malcolm was a late-in-life child to a couple who were survivors of the modernization of English society--his father a World War I veteran and his mother the great beauty of her day. Malcolm details his experiences in boarding school and the murder trial he learned about while going through a desk in his family home.

I recommend this book to lovers of English history or literature. (
