Vic:Lambeth to Lambourn (Ordinary Lives)

by Anne Bott (Editor), VictorCox (Author)

Synopsis

A reviewer from Sydney, Australia, on Amazon.co.uk says he was born and bred in Lambeth and Vic's book, in a easy to read style, meanders from working class Lambeth to wartime evacuation to Berkshire and beyond. It offers a good basic study of family life. He felt he knew Vic's nearest and dearest. The Newbury Weekly News says Vic provides an insight into nine decades of social history. His story reveals that by focussing on the rich and famous, society has sidelined the wealth of stories waiting to be told by 'real' people.

The Journal of Kent History outlines Vic's history including service in the RASC in the Second World War. The Journal concludes: Any reader interested in recent history, especially as it was experienced at the grass roots, will be gripped by this book. Nobody's life is ordinary and this book shows how very special a so called 'ordinary' life can be.
