About this listen
"It isn't easy to reminisce, alone, into a tape recorder. Yet that is what I asked my father, John Bowden, to do when, in the late 1980s, I suggested he should not only record our family history, but reflect on a life that embraced almost the entire 20th century. Then in 1998, at the age of 91, Father 'woke up dead' in his own bed, in his own house (which he never wanted to leave), not long after adding a postscript - a final chapter to his life story.…"
The Way my Father Tells It is a story of the joys and sorrows of childhood and adolescence, of falling in love, going to war, and returning to re-establish a family life. It is filled with wry charm and self-effacing humour and is a wonderful evocation of an Australia now changed beyond recognition.

One of the best memoirs
I have listened to this book several time. Quite simply it fills me with joy. The ordinary is extraordinary. It’s extremely clever story telling by Tim but he is nothing short of exceptional. But this book is next level. The weaving of narrative is simply magnificent. This book is in my top five all time favourites. Right up with Albert Facey. Simple, brilliant, moving and emotive.
