  This autobiography belongs to the 1920s, to a street in south-west London, to its people, and especially to Ena Chamberlain, the family afterthought . She observes and interpretes the complex nuances of family relationships, and describes the carnival delights of the street - frequently retreating from them to the sacrosanct world of her own imagination. This book is, above all, a celebration of the women who dominate street society; shape it or perish by it. But it is Ena's adored father who is the catalyst for the end of the story - and the end of childhood.
