Description

Isabelle Bendon was born in 1907, and here in her compelling memoir demonstrates needle-bright powers of recall going back almost to that time. She tells us her life story in terms of not only the people and events shaping her own destiny, but against the backdrop of Britain's rapidly changing social landscape -- two world wars, the rise of popular culture, the inch-by-inch progress of the British working-class. Her own life, but for a steely strength of character, could well have been tragic, when she and her two younger brothers had the sheer misfortune of a violent and drunken father, an episode described with frightening luminosity. Yet she survived this dysfunction and pursued life vigorously, dragging herself through the chaos of the London Blitz, and doing absolutely everything it was in her power to do to realise a long-cherished ambition of owning and running her own business. Her beautifully written story is one of triumph over adversity, with the dice loaded against her, and is told with great compassion for the many ordinary folk she has known and loved, from her beginnings in Edwardian North East London to her present life in rural West Sussex.
