Just One More Day

Zusatztext

<p><b>In 1960s Bristol, a family is overshadowed by tragedy</b></p><p>While Susan, a typically feisty seven-year-old, is busy being brave, her mother, Eddress, is struggling for courage. Though bound by an indestructible love, their journey through a world that is darkening with tragedy is fraught with the kind of misunderstandings that bring as much laughter as pain, and as many dreams as nightmares. How does a child cope when faced with a wall of adult secrets? What does a mother do when her biggest fear starts to become a reality? Because it's the Sixties, and because it's shameful to own up to feelings, Eddress tries to deny the truth, while Susan creates a world that will never allow her mother to leave.</p><p>Set in a world where a fridge is a luxury, cars have starting handles, and where bingo and coupons bring in the little extras,<i>Just One More Day</i>is a deeply moving true-life account, told by mother and daughter, of how the spectre of death moved into their family, and how hard they tried to pretend it wasn't there.</p>
