Synopsis
Another classic novel from the Library of Wales series Sharp, sad and romantic, Dannie Abse's reminiscences tell of the private fortunes of a Jewish family in Cardiff amid the troubled tapestry of the 20th century - unemployment, the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and the Spanish civil war. Funny, moving and idiosyncratic — New Statesman Acutely remembered, imaginatively told...a clever moving evocation — the Observer Written from the heart and many will respond to it — The Spectator Dannie Abse was born on 22 September 1923 in Cardiff to Jewish parents. He studied Medicine in Wales, qualifying as a doctor in 1950 and he has continued to combine his careers as both a doctor and writer.
