side effects of taking tramadol long term Much of the book is given over to memoir. Fernyhough gets lost in Cambridge. Then fails to find a swimming pool in Sydney. Auntie Sheila turns up, though not in Australia, and not to help out. She is dead, and it's down to the author's sister, Clare, to gather bits and bobs from her house, which stir up memories of their own. The wife and kids get a mention, as does Rhett, the godfather. At one point, the author embarks on a Sebaldian trek along an estuary in Essex, retracing against the elements the steps of his divorced, dead father. This takes some time. He tells stories of his father to his children to keep the memory alive, or at least to implant memories in their brains. These aren't the only passages that seem more for the author's family than the general reader.
