| Synopsis: |
Different Times is both history and memoir: one man's account of growing up in post-war England. It weaves the personal details of one family's life into the broader story of the industrial north. An account of northern England in the aftermath of World War II., with lingering reminders of the earlier World War, Different Times is a remembrance of working class life in an England that is almost unrecognisably different from today. The story is about communities dominated by heavy manufacturing industries, especially the Lancashire of 'King Cotton.' James Walvin spent his career as an academic historian, and uses those skills to recreate the lost world of the industrial north. But at the heart of the book there is another, highly personal issue: a family secret about a love affair which had repercussions for all concerned, and which adds an emotional twist to the broader story of those very different times. |
