Julie Summers - Stranger In The House October 28, 2008

JULIE SUMMERS – STRANGER IN THE HOUSE

DATE: 28TH OCTOBER
TIME: 6:30PM

Blackwell Bookshop takes great pleasure in celebrating the achievements of Julie Summers with a talk and readings from her latest work Stranger in the House.
Over 4 million ex-service men were demobilised between 1945 and 1947. These men, changed by injury or experience, returned to a Britain that had also adjusted in their absence. In STRANGER IN THE HOUSE, Julie Summers talks to the women who were left to cope at home without their menfolk and explains how the longed-for homecomings were sometimes difficult for all concerned.
A moving and revealing insight into the real experiences of women and how their ordinary private lives were altered forever during and after the war, in which the men and the women themselves, had changed irrevocably in an attempt to deal with the consequences caused by it.

This event is ticketed, but tickets are FREE. Tickets are available from the front desk at Blackwell.
