The author of the book draws from his experiences throughout his life from the time he was brought up with his twin sister by both parents who had served in the Royal Navy during the Second World War. His early upbringing during the post-war years at a time of recession, a period of rationing, and the rebuilding of the United Kingdom and how he went on to carve out a successful professional career as an architect. He describes the changes which have taken place over six decades, the affect on family life and the personal tragedies, his immediate and wider family suffered. He draws on the comparisons of post-war life and today's, the changes and affect which have occurred, the possibilities and probabilities for the future. An interesting and entertaining memoir which will give readers of all ages a familiar and unfamiliar understanding of life during a period of certainty and uncertainty when a generation as the title suggests made their own luck. |
