Days from a Different World
By
John Simpson
This is not a mere exercise in nostalgia, rather it is a journey through the England of the late 1940s in all its shabby wonder, telling the somewhat strange and often deeply painful story of John Simpsons family. Here we meet his father and his grandmother, still living in the small and rather depressing south London suburb which his family built, dominated, and finally, declined with. We meet the grandfather who drank the family money away and abandoned his wife and children, and the grandfather who toured the country with a Wild West show. We also learn of the broken marriages and the unfulfilled lives of the people who died, and the lives which were just beginning. Candid, beautifully written and touching, Days from a Different World will enchant all those who read it.
