Summary:  "A powerful and unexpected memoir from the author of the best-selling novel Mister Pip. As the New Zealand city of Christchurch lies in ruins after the catastrophic earthquake of February 2011, Lloyd Jones begins a search for his past, a search that takes him through childhood memories of puzzling events to Pembroke Dock in Wales, and finally to the discovery of a devastating court transcript. On this extraordinary journey, he pieces together the fragments of a story that has been buried in his family for a lifetime. A mother who gave up her daughter, a naval captain drowned at sea, a marriage to save a child. Lloyd Jones was born in New Zealand in 1955. His best-known novel Mister Pip has been made into a major feature film starring Hugh Laurie (House). Lloyd Jones lives in Wellington, New Zealand"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
