about the author
I was born in the East End of London in an area that was still covered by wartime debris, where we lived in an old house supported by three wooden buttresses. It was small and very cold in winter, heated by a coal fire and a paraffin stove where Mum worked endlessly shopping, cooking and cleaning everything manually.
What a change to the life we live now surrounded with technology at our fingertips, yet, personally I feel I have been privileged to have experienced that time, to have had a foot in each camp, be it modern or out dated, because even though push button A/B telephones and black and white TV doesn't sound terribly interesting to the young, the community and determination of the people of those days continually pull so many of my emotional cords.
listener reviews
when your world turns upside down by Maria Adams on 11 July 2017
A gentle story about a romance that has failed.
Was it that the lovers had been separated for a while?
Or that in truth that they had both wanted different things from life and separation had just allowed each of them to acknowledge this.
What are the real emotions behind their masks?
Is it the right thing to do or just a whim?
