Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 311 pages. Text tannedSandy McCutcheon, one of Australia's mo st popular national broadcasters, was adopted into a respectable, well-off family, but it was one in which he never felt at home. His yearning for acceptance was matched by an instinct to rebel, and by frustration with his parents' refusal to acknowledge his a doption. He did not learn the truth about his birth for fifty yea rs, and when he did the circumstances were so convoluted as to de fy belief. Eventually he discovered a family with uncanny paralle ls between its generations, where history has been repeated not o nce but several times.Sandy's extraordinary story sheds light on things that affect us whether we're adopted or not: on how memory helps shape our sense of self, on the importance of not harbouri ng resentment, on the way the heart knows things that the mind do es not. And the way life never stops delivering surprises . . .Th e Magician's Son is an unflinchingly honest and poignant account of growing up without a history. Seller Inventory # 937i
