About this audiobook
Somewhere on a shelf there is a year that only the birthday guest was there for the beginning of. This book hands it back to them, one short fact at a time. Born in 1957 is a warm, easy-to-read 70th birthday gift book that gathers the songs, shows, films, prices, cars, sports, headlines and playground crazes of the year they arrived. It is not a trivia quiz, a memoir workbook or a party-planning guide: it is 216 short, verified, numbered entries to dip into, read aloud and talk over, with a month-by-month panel, a themed index and a set of questions that invite the birthday guest to tell their own stories. Inside, you'll find: Give it with a card, read a few entries at the party, then leave it on the coffee table. Seventy years on, the best gift may be an afternoon of remembering.
