This was book that was just my cup of Yorkshire tea, set in Sheffield from 74 to 94, its the story of the sellers + the glovers, the former move up from London as a crisis hits the latter. The parents and 5 children's lives intertwine over 20 years to sometimes comic, emotional and compulsive effect. A wonderful story of a city close to my heart 5*

Not often a book makes me laugh out loud but ive just read a brilliant scene between a removal man and a small boy 😂
This is a book ive had sat on a shelf for years and whilst v long i am loving it.
Anyway for all those north of England readers here is a contents page which may need translation 😂😂

Finding a book for the prompt of United kingdom was never going to be an issue given my love of historical fiction. The problem was always going to be which one to choose. In the end I picked this book because it us partially set in Sheffield which is where I lived in the late 90s for four years

Love this song 😁 Jarvis is a wonderful song writer.

In preparation for seeing Philippa Gregory talk as part of her Dark Tracks tour at the start of February, I have begun my quest to read the first 3 instalments of the Order of Darkness series. I am a massive fan of her Tudor/War of the Roses series‘ so I am looking forward to finding out how her own stories compare to her historical fiction #Philippagregory #Darktracks #Orderofdarkness #Changeling #Stormbringers #Foolsgold #Sheffield

Sheffield, in dem Buch kommt Sheffield vor❣️(Auf Seite 30)

Vielleicht stimmt mich das versöhnlich.

? Nein, nicht versöhnlich. Die Ansicht, dass Frauen, grob gesagt, an den Herd gehören (siehe Zitat von Seite 6), ärgert mich immer noch. Maßlos‼️?

Aber #Sheffield ?✨stimmt mich immerhin milde.
