A Times Biography of the Year 'I learned a lot reading this ... the
strength of Fracture is that it is very much like a cracking radio
script: entertaining and easy to digest' Spectator Ada Lovelace.
Frederick Douglass. Vladimir Lenin. Marie Curie. Frieda Kahlo. Carl
Jung. Tupac Shakur. All geniuses who changed the world in ways that
still influence our lives today. And all men and women who
experienced, in childhood, trauma so severe that it should have
broken them completely. While presenting Great Lives on Radio 4,
Matthew Parris noticed a trend in the lives of the exceptional
people the programme covered: many of them had been marked by
extreme trauma and deprivation. They seemed to have succeeded not
only in spite of their backgrounds, but perhaps even because of
them. As Matthew Parris brings each individual's story to life in
this original and compelling study, it becomes clear that we must
rethink the origins of success, as well as the legacy of trauma.
