Review: Five Stars - good story
Review: A detailed and unsentimental look at a Glasgow slum between the wars - Molly Weir, who later became a relatively known TV actress, chronicles her childhood, growing up between the wars in Springburn, a Glasgow slum that's still notorious for being the poorest parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom. She was the youngest in a large family, born in 1910; her father was killed in War War I. Weir does nothing to romanticize her surroundings and makes it clear just how poor everyone was, and how hard life was, how there was no extra money for anything, but this book cannot be described as sad or depressing. She came from a warm, loving family that lived in an overcrowded apartment in a close-knit neighborhood where everyone looked out for each other, and she has a knack for describing the details of her life: the way her mother was able to hunt out bargains and using a bit of sewing magic to turn an adult's dress into a child's school uniform, for example. I highly recommend this book to anyone who's interest in the lives of the poor and working-class in the UK and Scotland in particular during this period. I'd be interested in checking out the other two books in the trilogy Weir wrote about her childhood.

Great read aloud with ages 9, 10. Let's you put yourself in her shoes. Learn history. It's a beautiful story.
