The powerful and emotive memoir about one man's relationship with his father and the stigma around mental illness, from the acclaimed author and human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith.

' A vivid, inquiring memoir... A properly soul-searching book' Observer

The powerful and emotive memoir about one man's relationship with his father and the stigma around mental illness, from the acclaimed author and human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith.

A leading campaigner for justice, human rights lawyer Clive Stafford Smith has spent a lifetime getting to know his clients - from detainees in Guantanamo Bay to prisoners facing execution on Death Row - and finding out 'what makes them tick'.

Yet closer to home, there was a man whose mind has always remained off limits- his own father.

But when Clive inherited more than 3,000 of his letters, he could finally start to piece together the obsessive personality behind them.

Drawing on the life of a client with his own mental health issues, The Far Side of the Moon is an unforgettable memoir and a meticulous critique of our social and justice systems.Just how much has Clive's father's unspoken struggle shaped his own life?
