His grandfathers were an immigrant collier and second generation countryman respectively, who with the determined help of their wives ensured that their families were upwardly mobile. Cyril was brought up in an academic family and tells with frankness of the way he grew up, his ups and downs until he fell in love - and was posted overseas...The title Remuera is the name of a suburb in Auckland where he lived and may be roughly translated from the Maori as "a singed kilt". The book may be read as a social document of the time."--P. 1.
