Remnants of War

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (14760 ratings)

Description:Remnants of War is a joint memoir written by two sisters, born less than two years apart in South-East London shortly after the end of the Second World War. Their account, written through a collective voice and illustrated with individual dramatized recollections, offers a rare insight into suburban working-class life in the 1950s and early 60s. Remnants of war were everywhere, sometimes hidden from children’s consciousness, and at other times repurposed. Bomb craters, a painful reminder of the Blitz for the adults, were the sisters’ playground. The book follows a conceptual arc from early days of ‘remembrance’ immediately post-war, and the indoor play of the two sisters’ early days, through exploration of ever-widening concentric circles from home, and into the hope and possibilities of secondary school - which coincided with MacMillan’s assertion that working-class families had ‘never had it so good’.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
