An astonishing account of a father’s violent death, exorcism and religious superstition…. Learning to Think is, in many ways, a book about demons: the addiction, violence, mental health struggles and, yes, superstition, that so often accompany poverty. But it’s also the story of an extraordinary family, full of energy and joie de vivre. It’s a story that brims with life and hard-won hope… Well structured and punchily told. -- Christina Patterson * Sunday Times * King's memoir is heartbreaking and hopeful; a devastating true story that teaches us how the pursuit of knowledge can be a path to both freedom and breathtaking grace. -- Tim Minchin A raw and unflinching account of growing up in poverty which tackles the false narratives we tell ourselves to survive. -- Caroline Criado Perez A brilliant writer -- Adam Kay What would you do if you began to suspect the events of your childhood didn't happen as you remembered them? In this evocative memoir, Tracy King confronts the stories we all tell ourselves in order to live. -- Helen Lewis, author of Difficult Women: A History of Feminism in 11 Fights
