At this year’s London Book Fair, Explora Books will present Uphill: An Inspirational Story of Suffering, Greed, Carnage, Immense Courage and Gut-determination by Geoffrey Bott—a memoir that reads less like a polished success story and more like a raw account of a life repeatedly pushed to its limits.
