Reviews

By the end of the book I knew Nell so well, and I admired and loved her. I also knew what it was like to be a working-class woman before feminism had kicked in...absolutely fascinating
*Neil Dunn, author of Up the Junction*

A marvellously detailed chronicle of social history...The cumulative power of the narrative is a remarkable achievement
*Alan Sillitoe, author of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning*

The range of subjects that the book touches upon is absolutely phenomenal . . . a superb piece of social history
*Morning Star*

An affectionate and semi-dramatised account of working-class life
*Your Family Tree*
