[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An oldie - My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. Also God on the Rocks by Jane Gardam.[/quote] The durrell book has recently been debunked on the basis that there was massive abuse within that family[/quote] I haven’t heard anything about the “book” being “debunked.” I know there have been assertions—probably true, who knows—of violence in the family (including by Gerry) and sexual abuse of Sappho Durrell by her father Larry. It’s not that I don’t think these are abhorrent things, I’m just not into canceling valuable literature because of mistakes made by authors, particularly when they’re dead (although I also still read Alice Munro).[/quote]
