Summary:
Grimbsy - where on earth was Grimbsy? As far as I knew, it was
somewhere 'up North' on the cold East coast. I had but two gifts to
start me on my way, the woollen blankets from my Mum and Dad, and a
half tea service from Elsie and Bert. My transition from maid to
married woman had begun. With an RAF husband, rarely on leave, Joyce,
the mother of two girls, fights her own battles on the homefront -
with air raids, in-laws, machine work and poverty - searching always
for a life to call her own. Joyce's war evokes in marvellously vivid
colours the ordinary story of an extraordinary working-class woman's
life.
