Hay Before the Bookshops or The Beeman's Family
The first of the trilogy, published individually
“This account of a post-war childhood is as compulsive as any page-turning thriller! The author captures beautifully the now-vanished world she grew up in, to create a book that is both a memoir and a fascinating piece of social history. The diaries of her poetic mother add another intriguing dimension to the tale.”
