A memoir of the 1950’s that conjures up that stifling post war period in vivid detail, Lorna Sage’s memory for inconsequential happenings, the texture of things, the tastes and sounds that surrounded her as she grew up make this both a tremendously detailed memoir and a valuable portrait of the period. One of the best memoirs of post-war life that’s been written, it still captivates and awes.
