Summary

'Find Another Place' is an autobiographical meditation on family, focusing on childhood, parenting, the passage of time, loss, love, faith, and memory. It explains a lifelong relationship with the game of chess and a developing relationship with literature and the desire to write. A family's interactions with the Isle of Wight, in war and peace, happy times and sad, runs through the narrative. Interwoven into the story are various other materials - a journal his grandfather, who had always wanted to be a writer, gave to the author shortly before his death. Letters from the author's parents written in the 1970s, before they were married, together with a handful of poems, extracts from diaries, and other materials.
