Here for the first time is this controversial writer's real childhood and early adulthood. The mixed feelings of an intelligent, sensitive child – talented but tormented; the eventual separation from his family; violence, crime, borstal and finally prison in England. How he turned his life around to become, not only New Zealand's bestselling novelist, but also a spokesperson for a large number of underprivileged New Zealanders, a controversial columnist and the initiator of the brilliantly successful Books in Homes schemes is both moving and compelling reading.
