Résumé

Storm Child: A Memoir" by Ian Hughes is a raw, lyrical account of a life forged in the crucible of adversity. Born during Scotland's fiercest storm of 1968, Hughes' journey begins with his father's heroic trek through chaos to reach his mother, setting a tone of resilience that defines the narrative. Spanning 61 chapters, the memoir traces his turbulent childhood-marked by a violent mother, an absent father, and frequent moves-through vivid scenes like the near-drowning in a kitchen sink and witnessing a park murder during Glasgow's Ice Cream Wars.
Each chapter unveils a new struggle: school isolation, care system entry, and the weight of unseen trauma. Yet, it's also a story of survival, as Hughes finds solace in his grandfather's garden, reinvention through a zoot suit, and eventual healing with his wife Julie and their children. The text blends sensory detail-"the cold metal bit into my hands" (Chapter 5)-with emotional depth, exploring complex PTSD and EUPD with honesty.
Later chapters reflect on career shifts, from dairy work to social care and photography, and a quiet triumph in breaking the cycle of trauma for his family. Aimed at those who've weathered their own storms, it offers hope through shared vulnerability, ending with dreams of sailing Scotland and leaving behind "a few good stories." Published in 2025, this British English edition stands as a testament to enduring strength.
