Summary
Lion is the story of a father and a daughter. About growing up with the unlikeliest of fathers: a charismatic bon vivant, a polo player, race-car driver, cocaine addict, ex-con, pilot, and skydiver. A minor god who comes down to earth in a grand manner, falling in all the ways there are to fall.

Sonya Walger's stunning piece of autofiction is an emotionally acute palimpsest of a novel, full of drama and incident, love and tragedy. The legend of her father's life and her distinctive and imaginatively charged telling of it make for an engrossing and unforgettable family saga.
