| Yesterday's Child -
A Coventry Childhood in Peace and War - Pat Watson |
|||||
| This story is set in 1930s Coventry and continuing through the Blitz, Yesterday's Child is a novel of working-class childhood, told through the eyes of the main character. Though this is a child's story, it is not a story for children, and the reader is left with an enjoyable sense of unease. Backgrounds include a midnight flit, a country house children's party, a seedy second hand shop with an arsonist parrot, coronation celebrations, a wealthy old recluse in a decaying mansion, a stone-deaf piano teacher who once saw an angel, a seaside holiday with, a dangerous escape from the Blitz, a war-time romance, and a convenient bereavement. | |||||
