  • Shibboleth

  • Lessons on Living

    By Nigel Latta
    5 stars

    This is easily already the book of the year for me. Nigel Latta sums up his life in a reflective way, showing wisdom and a sense of humour that lets you laugh out loud. Sad to know that he wrote this book in the last months of his life. However, this is the strength of the book as he tells his life story with all honesty and self-reflection.
