In the Blood: A Memoir of My Childhood, by Andrew Motion

“In the Blood: A Memoir of My Childhood,” by Andrew Motion, the British poet laureate and noted biographer of Keats and Philip Larkin, has the expected circular form.

But his story entails no dramatic psychological development or pivotal departure.” Read the review at the New York Times.
