Born in the post war years, Nigel Pantling’s family settled in a small market town where church, school, and black & white TV made everything feel predictable. So it was that he was completely unprepared for the strangeness of life in the Army, the Civil Service and the City, and for the unpredictability of love, life, and death. In It’s Not Personal nothing is ever quite as it seems, and the narrator of the story can’t always be trusted.
