If there’s a life that you want to write about, this book is for you. It’s your guide to completing the jigsaw, to piecing together a vivid, absorbing picture of an individual or a family. Along with sound practical advice, it has exercises and worked examples to help you unearth stories and to tell the tales that need to be told – the tales that only you can tell.
