She went to Harvard when she was homeless and so this will, at the very least, be a thinking woman's misery memoir. However, this book, one guesses, even before reading it, looks likely to stand head and shoulders above the rest, because Liz Murray is remarkable – a special case. It is already a bestseller in the US and one can see, at a glance, that it will appeal to the market that has made bestsellers of its more abject rivals – Dave Pelzer's A Child Called "It" and all its gruelling successors (the genre could be dubbed: "Children called Them").
