Running For Rice Pudding
A childhood memoir by Rosemarie Mattar
Hilarious and heartfelt, Rosemarie Mattar's stories of her Liverpool childhood in the 70's paint a raucous picture of familial love and adventures with six brothers and sisters, an Irish mother and Jamaican father.
Mattar's surprising vignettes of their every day life; from a ladybird invasion to an unexpected house guest, a secret haircut to a close call with lions, resonate in the unique voice of a natural storyteller.
Running for Rice Pudding pulls the reader into Mattar's unconventional young world and shares all the joy and lessons learned from a simpler time.
