Description

‘A captivating family detective story and a poignant social history of Britain’ Observer

After an isolated childhood of silence and secrets, Rory Cellan-Jones (broadcaster, Parkinson’s podcaster and Sophie-the-rescue-dog owner) began a journey of discovery. Although he knew he was the child of a love affair between colleagues at the BBC, it wasn’t until his mother died and left him a file labelled ‘For Rory’ that he understood the true scandal and sadness of his parents’ relationship, and the reasons for his fatherless upbringing.

A compelling, tender and emotive memoir of his difficult but ultimately heroic mother, Ruskin Park is also a tribute to an entire generation of women who were never given the chance to realise their potential.
