Family Britain, 1951-1957

As in David Kynaston's 'Austerity Britain', an array of vivid, intimate voices drive the narrative in this book. Keen-eyed Nella shops assiduously at Barrow market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines, relishing the detail of surburban life, brings up her children in Chingford. These and many other voices give a rich, unsentimental picture of everyday life in the 1950s. Well-known figures are also encountered along the way - all a part of this colourful, unfolding tapestry in which the great national events jostle alongside everything that gave Britain in the the 1950s its distinctive flavour.
