Family Roundabout | Richmal Crompton

2 posts | 2 read | 3 to read

Set in the year 1948, this novel is about the life of two families during the inter-war years. Instead of seeing William at odds with adults, we are shown the matriarchs around whom their families spin; but whether they direct their children gently or forcefully, in the end they have to accept them as they are.

My ‘currently reading‘ stack.

I‘ve hit upon a good combination here: a biography, a Persephone, and some vintage children‘s lit. 😊
