'An astonishing work' - Joanne Harris Every parent's worst nightmare became a reality for Ian Clayton. On a short holiday break in Hay-on-Wye he took his nine-year-old twins canoeing, and in a freak accident his daughter Billie was drowned. In a remarkably frank and vivid way Clayton describes what happened on that spring day, his desperate attempts to save his two children, and then what it felt like two years later to come face to face with the men who hired out the canoe. But Our Billie is not a story of bitterness and recrimination. Instead it's the story of how a family attempts to come to terms with something which makes no sense at all. Through his memories of Billie and his wonderfully affectionate portrait of the small town in Yorkshire where the family has lived for generations, he weaves a story of loss and remembering, of gratitude and forgiveness.

The author loves jazz, blues, rock, soul, the works. He'll go virtually anywhere in the world for a positive musical experience: a festival in Ireland, a hole-in-the-wall in New Delhi, a record store in, well, anywhere. . . Sometimes charming, sometimes rambling."" Kirkus Reviews 11/15/07

When you hear a certain song, where does it take you What is the secret that connects music to our lives Heart warming, moving and laugh out loud funny, Bringing It All Back Home is the truest book you will ever read about music and the things that really matter. Author Ian Clayton listens to music as a kid to escape and as an adult to connect. His quest to find what music does to us has taken him on mystical journeys to India, on an odyssey to the Mississippi Delta and through the landscapes of his own memory. In Bringing It All Back Home he has created a book about love, friendship, family and loss - about life and living it. While searching for a soundtrack to his own life story, he has discovered the heart that beats inside us all.

What happens when you only know your dad when you're a young boy and then, one day, when you are middle-aged, he phones to say he'd like to see you again before he dies In the space of one year, Ian Clayton makes a voyage around China, America and his father to ponder the familiar questions: Is blood thicker than water Does it matter who teaches us so long as we learn How do we let go of something that we never really had in the first place With characteristic storytelling, wit and good humour, Ian Clayton reflects on a lifelong search for a father figure, skipping across the generations to weave a tale of how we relate, what we do with what we've got and what happens when some things just don't work out the way we want them to.
