The book itself is a little soap-opera around the lives of a group of tenants of a shared house in Kennington, set against the backdrop of the pivotal events of 1939 and 1940.

The plotting and the writing are good enough to engage the reader and keep them engaged, however the glimpse into a recent past is the really fascinating part.

Recommended - and highly recommended to London readers. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67267692 to: Narrow Dog to Indian River (Hardcover) by Terry Darlington
This man is totally insane - why take an English Narrow Boat down the US Intra-Coastal waterway, which is more or less open sea in many places? For what it cost to ship the narrow-boat from Stoke to the US and back, he could have hired something much more suitable. It's not even very well written. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58451583 to: Bad Science (Paperback) by Ben Goldacre

A fictionalise reading of the mind of Brian Clough - highly recommended, even if you only have a passing grasp of football, and essential reading for anyone who followed the game in any way at all in the 1970s. Aboslutely brilliant. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58451276 to: Narrowboat Dreams: A Journey North by England's Waterways (Paperback) by Steve Haywood
