To ask if you know of any good books that are a true story?

[mathsahh]

Please! I am scrolling Amazon and can’t find anything that looks good/interesting/educational

The Tattooist of Auschwitz

Testament of Youth, Vera Brittain.

The Art Thief by Jon Finkel. A page-turner!

Midnight in the garden of good and evil

Lion by Saroo Brierley

A great book, but the actual accuracy is sketchy.

What Genre @mathsahh? A celebrity biography would be very different to an historical account of the first world War for example.

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson.

The Great Beanie Baby Bubble: Mass Delusion and the Dark Side of Cute by Zac Bissonnette

My other recommendations are true crime - not sure if you’re interested in that, but I can give you those if you want.

Educated by Tara Westover, fascinating autobiography

The Radium Girls

Rumer Godden's two volumes of autobiography, A Time to Dance, No Time to Weep, and A House With Four Rooms.
Lillian Beckwith - About My Father's Business.

Fragile by Nikki Graheme
A very private school by Charles Spencer
Firemanscam
Lion
Coming Clean (about opioid addiction)
A miracle in the Andes - Nando parrado

I’ve read all these recently and all very good. Depends on your subject interests though!

Ghost Boy by Marin Pistorious

The Immortal life of Henrietta Lacks

Something that I really loved and stayed with me for ages, the biography of Maria Callas. Opera singer who had a long love affair with Aristotle Onassis. Her life was fascinating and I'm not hugely interested in opera at all.
