Description

Virago Press, 2004. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- In this new edition of Joyce Storey`s autobiography; the previous three editions are amalgamated and the complete story of her life is told. Born near Bristol in 1917; Joyce began her autobiography at age 66. THE HOUSE IN SOUTH ROAD follows her pre-war life in Bristol; an era of corset and chocolate factories; of `service` and glamorous silent movies. With a brilliant eye for the comic in the tragic Joyce unfolds her experiences at school; her first job; her first love and a mismatched marriage. During the war Joyce is a mother of two and her RAF husband is rarely on leave. She fights on the home front; air raids; in-laws; machine work and poverty. After the war Joyce begins to enjoy the luxury of a prefab house; first holidays; the growing independence of her four children; but suffers a breakdown in her marriage and her husband`s final illness. With humour and intelligence Joyce Storey charts a good deal of the 20th Century.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Virago Press The date of this copy is 2004 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
