Book excerpt: The autobiography of a woman growing up in Liverpool in the Thirties and Forties Volume One: 1934-1946 A tender and honest portrayal of the life of a working-class girl in Liverpool in the thirties and forties. Her journey to womanhood takes us through the second world-war and shows what it was like to live with rations, blackouts and air-raid shelters. What emerges isn't a catalogue of drudgery and misery, but rather a testament to the human spirit and to life itself. Dorothy is a survivor in more ways than one - not least of all from her domineering mother and weak father.
