Sounds fascinating Mary. Will have a look for that......love those kind of books

My cousin told me about a book a few months ago Called Voices In The Street by Maureen Reynolds. This one is similar to your book as it tells the story of a young girl growing up in Dundee. Maureen Reynolds was born in 1938 so lived through the war and the shortages it brought. Not to mention the poverty that was already rife in Dundee at that time. The smokey Jute mill chimneys the trams and wash houses etc. Was a really good book. It was only published in June this year so when i was in Dundee in May I ordered a copy from Waterstones. Read it in 2 nights......but really of special interest to me as I was born and bred in Bonnie Dundee.

Anyone else read any interesting books lately
