Publisher's Synopsis
A hand-on-heart honest (and often laugh-out-loud funny) account of growing up in Liverpool in the '50s and '60s in a large, eccentric Anglo-Irish family. Ruling the roost there was Mam - menopausal and always saving for a divorce, or her own business, whichever was cheaper. Then there was Dad - either in the pub, or practising his banjo in the outside lav - and Cherry's five brothers and three sisters...From the still-rationed post-war years to the swinging '60s when Liverpool became fashionable, this delightful memoir brings a fondly remembered era vividly to life.
