Part memoir and part local history, this book tells the story of a little girl who was born and raised in one of Leamington's back-street slums during the middle years of the twentieth century. Most of the books written about the Spa tend to be of a more serious nature, concentrating on its history, its buildings, and the lives of the great & the good who provided the wealth that built the town; but little is written about the lives of the hard-working folk who lived in poverty behind the elegant facades. Those who lived in the back-streets, or former pupils of St. Peter's School, Leamington Girls College or Clapham Terrace Senior School may find the book of particular interest.
