The end of this novel was sad, and I thought about those poor kids. I'm writing a review here of it and my impressions of it.
The story was heartwarming, and there were some doubts about the parents of the children.
"1963: A Slice of Bread and Jam" by Tommy Rhattigan is a powerful memoir that offers a raw and often humorous glimpse into the author's impoverished childhood in 1960s Manchester. The book, which has become a Sunday Times bestseller, chronicles a year in the life of seven-year-old Tommy as he navigates poverty, neglect, and daily struggles in the derelict houses of pre-Crescents Hulme.
Readers have praised the book for its ability to evoke strong emotions and create a sense of immersion in Tommy's world. Many who lived through similar circumstances in the 1960s found the scenarios relatable and nostalgic. The author's storytelling skills shine through as he manages to balance the grim realities of his childhood with moments of humour and warmth.
