World War Two is finally over. Millions all over the country are starting to wonder if peacetime really is much of an improvement on the War. Food shortages, endless queues, power cuts, rationing & freezing winters make it extremely difficult to make ends meet as husbands return from battlefields to families they hardly know.

Yet some East Enders are living large... in a bombed out damp & squalid Hackney slum, one family are leading a life of luxury, a loadsamoney world funded by illegal betting, where virtually everything is available, thanks to a thriving black market. The Hyams family has a retinue of unofficial servants: a chauffeur, a cleaner & an army of delivery men.

In this honest & sincere memoir, Jacky Hyams revisits the 'live for today' world of her childhood, a world where money was no object, growing up in a household underpinned by betting, booze & bribes.

This paperback book has 240 pages & measures: 19.8 x 12.8 x 1.5cm
