This Time Next Year We'll Be Laughing
Categories: Biographies & Memoirs
Jacqueline Winspear's 2020 memoir looks back on her childhood in rural Kent after the Second World War. She writes about her parents, working-class Londoners who survived the Blitz, her father's wartime experiences, and the family's hard life as hop pickers and farm workers, as well as her own path from a difficult childhood to a new life in the United States. She also explains how those stories shaped the Maisie Dobbs novels.
