In his unique and engaging voice, the acclaimed actor of stage and screen shares the emotional story of his complicated relationship with his father and the deeply buried family secrets that shaped his life and career.
A beloved star of stage and screen, Alan Cumming’s life and career have been shaped by a complex and dark family past – full of troubled memories, kept buried away. But some secrets don't stay buried. Recently, an unexpected phone call from his long-estranged father brought the pain of the past hurtling back into the present and unravelled everything he thought he knew about himself.
Not My Father's Son is the story of his journey of discovery, both a memoir of Alan’s childhood in Scotland and an investigation into his family history which would change him forever.
"Powerful...A thoroughly gripping read."
Sunday Times
"A beautifully written, honest look at the forces of blood and bone that make us what we are, and how we make ourselves. I was completely sucked in."
Neil Gaiman
"This is a beautiful book – sad, funny, haunting, surprising, suspenseful, gut-wrenching, endearing."
Harlan Coben
