Title: My Family: The Memoir

Summary:
'One of the funniest books I have ever read' HADLEY FREEMAN
A masterpiece SATHNAM SANGHERA
'The read of the summer'
THE SUNDAY TIMES
'Brilliant funny and moving' ADAM KAY
A searingly honest, funny and moving family memoir in which David Baddiel exposes his mothers idiosyncratic sex life, and his fathers dementia, to the same affectionate scrutiny.
On the surface, David Baddiels childhood was fairly standard: a lower-middle-class Jewish family living in an ordinary house in Dollis Hill, north-west London. But David came to realise that his mother was in fact not ordinary at all. Having escaped extermination by fleeing Nazi Germany as a child, she was desperate to make her life count, which took the form of a passionate, decades-long affair with a golfing memorabilia salesman. Davids detailing of the affair including a hilarious focus on how his mother turned their household over to golf memorabilia, and an eye-popping cache of her erotic writings leads to the inescapable conclusion that Sarah Baddiel was a cross between Jack Niklaus and Erica Jong.
Meanwhile, as Baddiel investigates his familys past, his fathers memories are fading; dementia is making him moodier and more disinhibited, with an even greater penchant for obscenity. As with his mothers affair, there is both comedy and poignancy to be found: laughter is a constant presence, capable of transforming the darkest of experiences into something redemptive.
My Family: The Memoir is David Baddiels candid examination of his childhood, family and memory offering a twisted love letter to his parents.

Title: Collateral Damage: Britain, America and Europe in the Age of Trump
Author: Kim Darroch
Narrator: Kim Darroch
Format: Unabridged
Length: 12:28:00
Language: English
Release date: 09-17-20
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers UK
Genres: Biography & Memoir, Law & Politics, American Politics, Global Politics

Summary:
Much bigger and more ambitious than a first-person rise and fall Great vignettes and classy analysis from the man who until a year ago sat at the top of the diplomatic tree There is nothing dusty or dry in his account of dealing with the twin forces of Boris and Donald, and how theyve shaped politics and his life Guardian
@realDonaldTrump: The wacky ambassador that the UK foisted on the United States is not someone we are thrilled with, a very stupid guy We will no longer deal with him
Kim Darroch was British Ambassador to the US as the age of Trump dawned and Brexit unfolded. One of the UKs most experienced and respected diplomats, to Darroch was given the task of explaining Trump to the British and Brexit to the Americans. Choosing to resign after his confidential cables criticising the Trump administration were leaked to the press, Darrochs unvarnished, behind-the-scenes account reveals for the first time the inside story of this tumultuous time and reflects more broadly on Britains relationship with the United States. In a book rich in anecdote and insight, he describes the challenges of dealing with the Trump White House; and offers a diplomats perspective on Brexit and how it looked to Britains closest ally.
As the closest Brit to the story, Darroch explains why the British embassy suspected a Trump victory from as early as February 2016, what part every key figure from Sarah Sanders to Michael Flynn has played in Trumps administration, and what balanced policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic should consider during this era of pandemic, seismic change and populist politics.
With riveting insider detail, Collateral Damage charts the strangest and most convulsive period in the recent history of Britain and the US and the state of the special relationship today.
