An extraordinarily brave memoir about faith, family, shame and
addiction - an Observer, New Statesman and Sunday Times Book of the
Year Matt Rowland Hill grew up the son of a minister in an
evangelical Christian church. It was a childhood fraught with
bitter family conflict and the fear of damnation. After a
devastating loss of faith in his late teens, Matt began his search
for salvation elsewhere, eventually becoming addicted to crack and
heroin - an ordeal that stretched over a decade and culminated in a
period of hopeless darkness. Recklessly honest, and as funny as it
is grave, Original Sins is an extraordinary memoir of faith,
family, shame and addiction. It's about looking for answers to
life's big questions in all the wrong places, how hope can arrive
in the most unexpected forms, and how the stories we tell might
help us survive. 'Remarkable, funny, arrestingly well-written...
Brings to mind Edward St Aubyn's Patrick Melrose novels, but is
also entirely, exhilaratingly its own thing' The Times 'Electric...
Artfully structured with novelistic verve... Hill is a blazing
talent' Observer 'A beautifully controlled tale of a life
spiralling out of control... One of the best books I've read this
year' Sunday Times LONGLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR
NON-FICTION AND SHORTLISTED FOR THE SLIGHTLY FOXED BEST FIRST
BIOGRAPHY PRIZE
