Description: | A brave, disciplined book about longing; not sexual longing as such but the endless longing of the under-privileged that history (and life) be different from what it has been and what it still is' John Berger This book is about lives lived out on the borderlands, lives for which the central interpretative devices of the culture don''t quite work. It has a childhood at its centre - my childhood, a personal past - and it is about the disruption of that fifties childhood by the one my mother had lived out before me, and the stories she told about it.'' |
