Pre-Owned A Good Likeness (Hardcover) 9780316854665

Paul Arnott has two very early memories. One is as a two-year-old having a bath in a hotel sink in Tenby; the other a Bromley afternoon when Mr and Mrs Arnott told Paul that his real Mummy and Daddy couldn t keep him - and that they had adopted him. Then for 30 years he barely gave his adoption a moment s thought - until the observation of the likeness between his son and himself provoked a quest to find his own biological parents. What he discovered was a near-complete family in Ireland - his parents had later married and since had four other children lighting a candle in his name every day for thirty-three years.
