COMP CLOSED: Win Caroline Baum’s “Only: A Singular Memoir”

This week’s giveaway is Only: A Singular Memoir by Caroline Baum. Caroline is an incredibly experienced journalist and was the founding editor of Good Reading magazine. She has interviewed many of the world’s top authors and now it’s her turn.

Only is a painfully honest and entertaining story revealing what it feels like to be an only child and the focal point of two people damaged by trauma and tragedy. Caroline Baum's poignant and gripping memoir is for anyone who has felt the pressure of being at the fulcrum of a seesaw, the focus of all eyes and expectations – torn between love and fear, obedience and rebellion, duty and the longing to escape.

The book explores what being a “good daughter” means and why it can be so difficult – uncovering truths that offer readers deep emotional insight.

We have two copies of this memoir to give away. To win one, share with us something you have only ONE of, but wish you had two – and why (in 25 words or fewer). The two entries we like the best will win!

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
