Cracks in the Ceiling is the coming-of-age saga of John Cowell. John is the hugely likeable son of Winifred, whose story he told so movingly in the bestselling biography The Broken Biscuit. Cracks in the Ceiling takes us through John's young life during the Forties and Fifties when he lived in a Lancashire cottonmill town with his adored mother, Winifred, his father, Jack, and his siblings until - as a young National Service soldier - he leaves for the faraway Cameroons in West Africa. Told with refreshing candour, John will enchant the reader with this wonderful, heartwarming story of love, loyalty and comradeship.
