Bread of angels
Smith, Patti2025
Book
A radiant new memoir from beloved artist and writer Patti Smith. A post-Second World War childhood unfolds in a condemned housing complex described in Dickensian detail: consumptive children, vanishing neighbours, an infested rat house, and a beguiling book of Irish fairytales. We enter the child's world of the imagination where Smith, the captain of her loyal and beloved sibling army, vanquishes bullies, communes with the king of tortoises and searches for sacred silver pennies. The most intimate of Smith's memoirs, 'Bread of Angels' takes us through her teenage years where the first glimmers of art and romance take hold.
