Why read it?

1 author picked My Family and Other Rock Stars as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I write enough memoir (40), but I've always loved to read them too. This is a nice take on growing up in the 1970's/'80's - same period as my own memoir covers, but in an unusual world, as part of a family that lives in the famous Rockfield Recording studios.

It's pastoral, rural, landscape describing, all the feels, but also, those mad family moments given there are rock stars at hand all day and all of the night.
