'[A] vivid, inquiring memoir... A properly soul-searching book' Observer The powerful and emotive memoir about one manâ€™s relationship with his father and the stigma around mental illness, from the acclaimed author and human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith. A leading campaigner for justice, human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith has spent a lifetime getting to know his clients â€“ from detainees in GuantÃ¡namo Bay to prisoners facing execution on Death Row â€“ and finding out 'what makes them tick'. Yet closer to home, there was a man whose mind has always remained off limits: his own father. But when Clive inherited more than 3,000 of his letters, he could finally start to piece together the obsessive personality behind them. Drawing on the life of a client with his own mental health issues, The Far Side of the Moon is an unforgettable memoir and a meticulous critique of our social and justice systems.Just how much has Clive's father's unspoken struggle shaped his own life? PRAISE FOR CLIVE STAFFORD SMITH â€˜Superbly writtenâ€™ John Grisham on Injustice â€˜Remarkableâ€™ Observer â€˜An empowering read for anyone who cares about the human implementation of justiceâ€™ Colin Firth on Injustice
