Stan książki: db+ Oprawa: miękka Ilość stron: 283 Rok wydania: 2003 Looking back, being the youngest of nine children and a change of life baby, conceived and born on Merseyside during the war, was probably not the best start for my Mam or me. Hand-on-heart honest, charming, occasionally tear-inducingly tragic but more often laugh-out-loud funny, Nobody in Particular is Cherry Simmonds' account of growing up on the back streets of Liverpool in the 50s and 60s, the youngest in a large, eccentric and sometimes exasperating Anglo-Irish family. Ruling the roost was Mam - menopausal and always saving for a divorce, or her own business, whichever was cheaper. And then there was Dada - who when he wasn't in the pub could invariably be found practising the banjo in the outside lav, and her five brothers and three sisters - two died, three got married (which amounted to the same thing according to Mam) and National Service would take care of the others... From the despondent, still-rationed post-war years to the heady, swinging 60s - when Liverpool suddenly found itself fashionable, put on the map by the Beatles, rock 'n' roll, industrial strikes, and Liverpool FC winning the Cup - this delightful memoir by a born storyteller brings a bygone yet familiar and fondly remembered era vividly - and vibrantly - to life.
