The book was written following extensive research by the author into events in his mother's life.
Although threaded together by a fictional plot, it contains references from official sources, and involves actual events.
The book can be read on several levels.
It began almost as a list of personal reminiscences, but evolved to also illustrate the rapidly changing nature of society after the First World War, and in particular the struggle to "put women back in their place" after the freedom and financial uplift that they had achieved during the conflict.
At times harrowing, sometimes humorous, sad more than happy, but always gripping.
