Long Going
Sophie Calon
At 50, Sophie Calon''s father was a celebrated lawyer. At 55, he was found dead on a garage forecourt at Christmas. Meanwhile he had pinballed between homeless shelters, prison cells, and dry-out hostels. His story is a lesson in how alcoholism corrodes a person - and a family. Long Going is a powerful, unflinching memoir that sings with Calon''s love for her eccentric, witty father while recounting his drink-fuelled disintegration. In telling his story, Calon explores her family''s instability and pain as well as her own survival. ''Throughout my childhood, our family''s struggles couldn''t be said aloud. I hope that, together with readers, we can all come to deeper understandings about addiction, grief, and how we could break destructive cycles.''
