Description

This is the ordinary story of an extraordinary working-class woman's life. Joyce Storey's autobiography begins with her pre-war life in Bristol, in 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 early experiences, leading to marriage and motherhood. During the war, like countless other women with an RAF husband rarely on leave, she fights on the home front: air raids, in-laws, machine work and poverty. Later, Joyce enjoys the luxury of a prefab house, first holidays, the growing independence of her four children, whilst coping with marriage breakdown and her husband's final illness
