"My book's objective is to portray my mother's life in an interesting and hopefully entertaining way. It is primarily targeted to my mother's surviving friends and relatives but it would also be of interest to anyone else who enjoys reading about English social history between the end of the Great War and 2010. Incidentally, it discusses family life, the British royalty and class system, aging, euthanasia, and travel in Canada, Italy and the former Yugoslavia"-- Back cover.
