How Was Your Day? VII

[Dazzle]

I've finished your book Parkerman!

I flew through it and found it enjoyable and fascinating.

I'll put my thoughts in spoiler tags so I don't spoil the book for anyone who intends to read it in the future.

Spoiler:

I particularly liked your family stories, especially your description of visiting your grandparents on the weekend. Your affection for your family comes through very strongly! I loved details like your dad's habit of giving everyone and everything nicknames, and the family habit of quoting Rupert the Bear (by the way, have you noticed the Rupert the Bear books are actually very sinister when read as an adult? ). What a lovely family you had. A really idyllic childhood!

The history was fascinating too as I'm a bit younger than you so some of it was unfamiliar to me.

I didn't know you're so keen on sports! It's very nice to know so much about you.

I was really impressed you took part in a demonstration (although in truth it sounded more like a riot ) against fascist Oswald Mosley! That's really something to be proud of!

Your description of your sadness at leaving the prefab left me a lump in my throat. Will you be writing a follow up because I'd love to know how you settled into Loughton and about your life after you left home for college.
