Meet thirteen-year-old Thomas Penman. Growing up in a
bizarre household of eccentrics, including a mother and
father who wage a silent war against each other. Thomas
downs his first drink, smokes his first cigarette, pursues
the beautiful Gwendolin Hackett--all the while forming a
special bond with his beloved, ailing Grandpa Walker, a
World War II veteran prone to dark habits. An obsessive snooper, Thomas undertakes a quest to locate
his grandfather's legendary pornography collection, setting
in motion a series of misadventures that ultimately leads
him to uncover secrets about his life that will change him
irrevocably. The Peculiar Memories of Thomas Penman is a hilarious,
engaging, and touching debut novel, a brilliant tale of one
British working-class teen's unforgettable coming of age.
