Any Human Heart

A writer and adventurer looks back on a life that stretches from Paris in the 1920s to London in the 1980s, with chapters in New York and other places along the way. Across changing eras, his memories trace personal relationships, missteps, and encounters with the wider world.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like sweeping life stories, flawed central characters, and drama that balances humor with melancholy; Not for you if you need a tightly plotted story with a clear, continuous arc.
