        			&#x2018;The glory of this book is its richly evoked world &#x2026; Michael is an Isherwood camera &#x2026; I doubt you&#x2019;ll read a better memoir this year. The Mighty Franks is full of humour and brittle irony. In Aunt Hankie, Frank has created a great new nonfictional character: an indelible wonder of dark depths and hypnotic high style&#x2019; Guardian&#x2018;A witty, moving account &#x2026; beautifully written and timely &apos; TLS&#x2018;There is a lastingly sane quality to his riveting memoir, The Mighty Franks, that&#x2019;s reminiscent of To Kill A Mockingbird&#x2019; The Telegraph&#x2018;Move Over, Royal Tenenbaums: Meet The Mighty Franks &#x2026; probing and radiantly polished&#x2019; New York Times&#x2018;An utterly magical book. Michael Frank inherits Truman Capote&#x2019;s glorious ability to recreate the past in an act of exquisite, knowing retrieval &#x2026; I hung on every word, spying through his child&#x2019;s eyes. This is intense and lyrical prose: I never wanted it to stop.&#x2019; Philip Hoare&apos;P.G. Wodehouse could not have invented Michael Frank&apos;s aunt. An astonishing story of a relationship and a family that ends up the wrong side up and inside-out. Beautiful, strange and true.&apos; Ian Sansom&#x2018;Entertainingly, and sometimes beautifully, told. Frank, as his aunt once told him, can write&#x2019; Observer&#x2018;The Mighty Franks is very easy to love and very hard to put down.&#x2019; George Hodgman&#x2018;To paraphrase Tolstoy, interesting families are unhappy in mysterious ways, and in this subtle memoir full of hard-won wisdom, Michael Frank gives us an indelible portrait of his own.&#x2019; Judith Thurman&#x2018;Crackling with sorrow and wit, Michael Frank has written a gorgeous, moving and intensely compassionate memoir that will stay with me for a long, long time.&#x2019; Molly Antopol&#x2018;Be careful when you start reading The Mighty Franks since you won&#x2019;t be able to stop. This portrait of an extraordinary family is a work of art.&#x2019; Jean Strouse&#x2018;Frank does a subtle job of evoking his larger-than life aunt Hankie, who both adored and isolated him&#x2019; Gaby Wood, Telegraph, Books of the Year

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Poignant and funny memoir of an eccentric LA family
            
*by G***H on 8 May 2018*

A fabulously moving - often funny - story of a very unusual family.  I read it over one weekend and highly recommend it, particularly to anyone interested in family - who isn't? - and the webs they weave.  Like many memoirs it loses some of its power in the final 1/4 or so, but the first 3/4 are knockout - well written, incredibly well observed, and you can picture the author's family - especially his larger-than-life Aunt and Uncle - perfectly.  Hiighly recommended.
