STOREY, JOYCE - THE HOUSE IN SOUTH ROAD - (PAPERBACK) IN SOUTH AFRICA

Book still in good condition >>> Born near Bristol in 1917, Joyce began her autobiography at age 66.  The House in South Road  follows her pre-war life in Bristol, an era of chocolate factories and glamorous silent movies. With a brilliant eye for the comic in the tragic, Joyce unfolds her experiences at school, her first job, her first love, and a mismatched marriage. During the war Joyce is a mother of two and her RAF husband is rarely on leave, and after the war Joyce begins to enjoy the luxury of a prefab house, first holidays, and the growing independence of her four children, but suffers a breakdown in her marriage and her husband's final illness. With humor and intelligence, Joyce Storey charts a good deal of the 20th Century.            *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me you only pay R 6 postage each on the additional books – see what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
