Wordfest welcomes one of Britain’s most distinguished authors. Michael Frayn – journalist, playwright and novelist – will talk about his honest, enchanting memoir, My Father’s Fortune. Above all, this is the story of his father: a quick-witted boy from a poor and struggling family, who overcame disadvantage to make a go of his life. Comic and painful, My Father’s Fortune is a truly remarkable attempt at rediscovering the lost land of one’s past before it slips away.
