My Family

David Baddiel's memoir is a candid examination of his childhood, family, and memory.

It delves into his mother's decades-long affair with a golfing memorabilia salesman and her transformation of their household into a golf memorabilia shrine.

The book also explores his father's dementia and its impact on the family, blending comedy and poignancy to create a twisted love letter to his parents.

Baddiel's childhood, though seemingly standard on the surface, was marked by the extraordinary and eccentric lives of his parents, reflecting the universal idiosyncrasies of family life.
