Nature or nurture A revealing and extraordinarily witty memoir of adoption that starts on a beach in Cornwall and ends in a rehab clinic in the Arizona desert. 'Special & Odd' is an unusually funny and candid memoir of James Mulholland's experiences of growing up adopted, searching for and finding his birth mother and dealing with the psychological trauma and addictions he associates with his adoption. James constantly questions the extent to which his personality has been formed by his adoption into a wealthy upper middle class family. How much does his adoptive status really influence his behaviour and decisions or is it just a convenient hook on which to hang his angst Why does he feel so insecure despite all of the love and attention lavished on him Is he really special and odd
