In the storytelling style of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, an unforgettable story of an abandoned child, a search for a mother, and the uncovering of a national scandal in 1930s' Ireland.
John Cameron (1935-2022) was in his mid-eighties when his bestselling memoir Boy 11963 was published to wide acclaim in 2021. It tells the remarkable story of his early life in care, his time in Dublin's Artane Industrial School, and his later search for his origins. A father of five, John, a former schoolteacher, was husband to Treasa. They lived in Gorey, Wexford.
