'Riveting and revelatory.' Philip Pullman'Wonderfully vivid and touching.' Literary Review'Warm, wise and unflinching.' Sunday Times'Witty and heartfelt.' Financial TimesStephen Hough is indisputably one of the world's leading pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards. Enough recounts his unconventional coming-of-age story, from his beginnings in an unmusical home in Cheshire to the main stage of the Carnegie Hall in New York, aged just twenty-one. 'Hough writes like a dream, with an almost Alan Bennett-like eye and ear for the sights and sounds of childhood.' Dan Cairns, Sunday Times'A memoir that is by turn audacious, harrowing, joyous, moving and funny . . . Hough [has a] brilliant ear for language, for rhythm, for silence.' Harriet Smith, Gramophone'An endearingly humorous, entrancingly lyrical writer.' Peter Conrad, Observer'Most memoirs give me far more than I want to know - this is the rare sort that left me urgently demanding a second volume, a third, a fourth.I loved it.' Philip Pullman
