Description:"All our family was Chelsea, but it wasn't the Chelsea of the posh houses in Turk's Row and Cheyne Walk - you never saw gentry hanging about our turning. And the only artists we knew were the pavement artists down on their knees along the embankment."Sarah Hodge was names after a drunk who came down Keppel Street and sat on the doorstep singing on the night of the child's birth - not a promising start for a girl in 1890s London. But while Sarah's is not a world of culture or cash, it is a world of noise, of colour, of a world of toffee-apple men, Italians selling Lemon Ice, Pink Ice and Ice-cream Plain, gypsies and flower girls, rag shops and boozers. Her story is both the story of a bygone London and the story of a girl's passage into womanhood. Through 'ordinary' eyes we see tragedy, courage, love and sacrifice; children who are wanted, children got rid of with boiled currants and gin; men loved, men despised.This is a remarkably powerful tale: beautifully told; a work of great talent and vigour.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
