What the grown-ups were doing: an odyssey through 1950s suburbia

Hanson, Michele

What the grown-ups were doing: an odyssey through 1950s suburbia - Simon & Schuster 2012 - ix, 358 p.

Michele Hanson grew up an 'oddball tomboy disappointment' in a Jewish family in Ruislip in the 1950s - a suburban, Metroland idyll of neat lawns, bridge parties and Martini socials. This hilarious and wonderfully evocative memoir charts Michele's childhood and coming of age in a Britain that was emerging from post-war austerity.
