Growing up in a chaotic household sharing two rooms with his brothers & sisters his hot-headed mother &
- when he was around
- absconding father John spent his time roaming the war-torn streets of London looking for trouble. One day at his mothers suggestion he responded to a call from his local parish priest for altar servers. The dance of the rituals the murmur of Latin & the candlelit dawn took hold of his imagination & provided him with a new & unexpected comfort. He left post-war London for Cotton a seminary in the West Midlands. In this hidden all-male world with its rhythms of devotion & prayer John grew up caught between his religious feelings & the rough & tumble of his life back in London; between seeking the face of God in the wild countryside around him & experiencing his first kiss; between monitoring his soul & watching a girl from a moving train whose face he will never forget. Cornwell tells us of a world now vanished: of the colourful community of priests in charge; of the boys & their intense & sometimes passionate friendships; of the hovering threat of abuse in this cloistered environment. & he tells us of his struggle to come to terms with a shameful secret from his London childhood
- a vicious sexual attack which haunts his time at Cotton. A book of tremendous warmth & humour Seminary Boy is about an adolescents search for a father & for a home.
