A clever lad, an asbestos salesman with a winning smile and a racetrack vocabulary, Tom Frayn emerged undaunted from a childhood spent in two rooms with six other people, all of them deaf. And undaunted he stayed, through German rockets, feckless in-laws, and his own increasing deafness; through the setback of a son as bafflingly slow-witted as the father was quick on his feet; through the shockingly sudden tragedy that darkened his life. As Peter Kemp wrote in \u003ci\u003eThe Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e (London), Frayn has never written with more searching brilliance than in his quest for his past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Frayn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250002346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250002341\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.18h x 5.46w x 0.76d","brand":"Michael Frayn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311258235135,"sku":"9781250002341","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4acdee8f-6fc6-4a8c-9473-208a4b33a079.jpg?v=1695721884","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-fathers-fortune-michael-frayn-9781250002341","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
