In Remembering Home, Tom—a statesman once at the pinnacle of power—finds every triumph overshadowed by the memory of a homeland he lost in one shattering night. His journey through recollection lays bare the people and places that shaped him, and the lingering ache of a refuge that may never be reclaimed.
A retired Duke, a one-time Prime Minister, and one of the wealthiest people in the world, Tom relays how his successes remain stubbornly in the shadow of his past – a past that firmly holds his home with it. In this memoir, Tom remembers home, something he has not known for forty years, and speaks of its loss – the loss of his parents, the loss of the man closest to him, and the loss of people who touched his life so briefly and yet remain firmly in his association with home. He speaks of the devastating events that snatched all of them away from him, rendering him a refugee and foreigner in his new home – forever homeless.
