Why, when I have had such an intense experience of forms of shame related to class ... why had it never occurred to me to take up this problem in a book?\"\nReturning to Reims is a breathtaking account of one man's return to the town where he grew up after an absence of thirty years. It is a frank, fearlessly personal story of family, memory, identity and time lost. But it is also a sociologist's view of what itmeans to grow up working class and then leave that class; of inequality and shifting political allegiances in an increasingly divided nation. A phenomenon in France and a huge bestseller in Germany, Didier Eribon has written the defining memoir of our times.\n'I was overwhelmed by this book. I felt I was reading the story of my life' Edouard Louis, author of The End of Eddy\n'A book about self-invention and belonging' Colm Toibin","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50700018221344,"sku":"9780141987996","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9780141987996.jpg?v=1780784052","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/returning-to-reims-didier-eribon-9780141987996","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
