Stephen Hough is indisputably one of the world's leading pianists, winning global acclaim and numerous awards.

Enough recounts his unconventional coming-of-age story, from his beginnings in an unmusical home in Cheshire to the main stage of the Carnegie Hall in New York, aged just twenty-one.

'Hough writes like a dream, with an almost Alan Bennett-like eye and ear for the sights and sounds of childhood.' Dan Cairns, Sunday Times

'A memoir that is by turn audacious, harrowing, joyous, moving and funny . . . Hough [has a] brilliant ear for language, for rhythm, for silence.' Harriet Smith, Gramophone

'An endearingly humorous, entrancingly lyrical writer.' Peter Conrad, Observer

'Most memoirs give me far more than I want to know - this is the rare sort that left me urgently demanding a second volume, a third, a fourth. I loved it.' Philip Pullman
