General Comments
I enjoyed this book, it was very sad in parts and moved me to tears yet it was written without the author looking for sympathy.
As well as being sad, it was interposed with quite a bit of humour and made me laugh out loud.
It contained an insight into social history and bygone times when poverty was the norm. It made me grateful for things that I'd always taken for granted.
I could relate to certain things that the author had written about, as I suppose many others would also relate to.
I would recommend this book to other readers.
