Ruby Lennox narrates her life from her conception in 1951 and the story of her family in York: her parents, George and Bunty, owners of a small shop, and her sisters. Her account combines the England of the fifties and sixties with scenes from across the twentieth century and portrays an ordinary family, though far from unremarkable.

For readers of literary and historical fiction who enjoy family portraits of twentieth-century England.
