The author recalls his childhood in England in the late 1940s and 1950s, interweaving his personal story with that of his family: his father, his grandmother, two contrasting grandfathers, and the light and shade of a south London suburb that his family helped build and watched decline.

For readers of memoirs and post-war British social history, and for followers of BBC world affairs editor John Simpson.
