Whalesteak and Chips: a lifetime of memories

Jackie Williamson

0/5 ( ratings)

As the post-war bride of her teenaged sweetheart, Sylvia knew nothing about housekeeping, child-rearing, cooking or family planning. Now, in her late eighties, she looks back on her life. This entertaining, moving and at times painfully honest account is written in Sylvia's voice by her journalist daughter and appeals to readers of all ages. Syliva's story is followed by Daisy's story. Daisy was Sylvia's mother and this account of her life as a World War I widow with five small children is taken from her own memoirs, written shortly before she died. Daisy tells how, penniless and in despair, she attempted to take her own life, and her children's, and of how fate eventually dealt her a lucky hand.
