Etat : Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 362 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Set against the background of the London Blitz, Peter Porteous lives over the Ha'penny Steps in Kensal Town. He has a day job as a factory supervisor, and he volunteers as an Air Raid Precautions warden. He spends a lot of time fire watching during the height of the bombing in 1940. He is also a black marketeer. In these times of shortages and rationing, he will trade in anything that turns a profit, but mostly women's nylon stockings, cigarettes and alcohol. As far as one can during the height of the London Blitz, he has a relatively comfortable existence, dodging both the bombs and the attentions of the police.Porteous has a small group of ladies around him. Nancy Keeling is an upmarket prostitute working for an organised gang in London's West End. She is shining a light for Porteous. Edith Bell is the landlady of the local public house. She has a friendly magistrate as a part-time lover as well as the occasional paying customer. Shira Adelman, a Polish refugee, is the unhappy wife of a crooked Jewish jeweller. Alice Halpin is Porteous's deputy at the factory. Driven out of her family home because she is in a long-term relationship with her partner, Phyllis, she bumps along at the edge of London's society. Together with Porteous business partner, Jimmy Ryan, the little group does what it can to maintain an existence during the height of the bombing. Book 3 of the trilogy tells Alice's story from her humble beginnings in Liverpool and the realisation of her sexuality. She gradually finds a discreet place in society as a skilled engineer together with the partner Phyllis, an officer in the Wrens. Alice is close to Porteous and Nancy, but she inadvertently gets mixed up with the British Union of Fascists doing a slightly dodgy job for an East London gangster when Porteous gets arrested. This job leads to a violent climax. Her rape as a teenager has toughened Alice. She brooks no fools and will stop at nothing to protect her way of life.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. James is a fourteen-year-old boy from rural Norfolk who finds himself unceremoniously transplanted into a multicultural suburb of London in 1975. He gets placed into a local, rather unruly secondary school not far from his house in Queen's Park. Here, he meets Marsha, a fifteen-year-old and the youngest daughter of two Jamaican immigrants of the Windrush Generation. They quickly strike up a close relationship, despite James never having come into contact with persons of the opposite sex or from a different cultural background. The story spans twenty-five years, during which James and Marsha tackle their school examinations, their entry to university, and the ups and downs of their burgeoning relationship. James is very naive. Marsha is much more mature. They live in a world cocooned by their families and oblivious to the racism of the time which they experience from both sides of the divide. Gradually, they emerge from this protection to face the challenges that many young people experience. They go their separate ways, but always stay in touch in a period bereft of the instant gratification of social media. They meet other people, and start new relationships, but always remain true to each other. It is a story of coming of age during the last quarter of the 20th century. This item is printed on demand.

It details her background back in Norwich, dealing with a feckless mother and her attempts to protect her younger sister from the attentions of the various males that hang around the family home. Nancy has a tragic past, brought about by unwanted attention of the men with whom she comes into contact. Nancy uses what she can to keep her family together; her good looks and her body. She becomes an upmarket prostitute working for the notorious pimp, Charlie Maitland. When she decides enough is enough, she is taken, against her will, to a child brothel on the Edgware Road. Porteous and his ladies must free her. Meantime, the serial killer, Gordon Cummins, is rampaging through London, murdering and butchering sex workers. He comes too close to Nancy's co-workers.…
