I found the book a little slow at times but mostly gripping as I wanted to find out that Suzanne would be ok even though I knew she must be. Her situation seems so hopeless at times, her vulnerability frightening. I found myself judging Gordon and Mary pretty harshly and thinking of my own parents and my own children and how much I take for granted. All the times I might have thought my own parents didn't go the distance for me seem so small compared to Suzanne's experience. I found myself questioning if I've ever put my children's needs so low in my priorities and wondering how these people thought it was ok. But then again there are certainly worse parents who are actively abusive towards their children and Gordon and Mary certainly cared for their kids enough to ensure they had their physical needs met - most of the time. Matthew Perry was sober and had been very active in Alcoholics Anonymous program in the lead up to his death, source reveals This is an autobiography about a girl who grew up on a boat. That description only begins to capture the experience though. Maybe you hear "grew up on a boat" and think that it might have been a bit of a fun adventurous way to grow up like someone who grows up at a tourist resort. Or maybe you hear that and think it's like someone who grew up traveling in a caravan. The story kind-of has those vibes at times - there is a road-trip element to the characters and places in the story as well as descriptions of dramatic experiences, exotic locations and wildlife. But as the story continues, there is a darker undercurrent of parental neglect and poverty that starts to colour it. The fun and excitement of travel is held up against the dangers of life at sea, social isolation and intellectual starvation. Whenever Suzanne dared to hope they might at last be turning towards home, her father would suddenly spring a new travel plan on them, informing them that they would be away for at least another year and a half.

What Gordon and Mary inflicted on their children is the most extreme example of that selfishness. An extraordinary story of adventure and self-discovery. Suzanne Heywood’s determination to get an education despite all the obstacles she faced leads her on a path of true freedom’ Minouche Shafik, Director of the LSE
