Helen Forrester
About this listen
The third best-selling volume in the powerful story of Helen Forrester's childhood and adolescence in poverty-stricken Liverpool during the 1930s.
Helen has managed to achieve a small measure of independence. At 17, she has fought and won two bitter battles with her parents, the first for the right to educate herself at evening classes, the second for the right to go out to work. Though her parents are still as financially irresponsible as ever, wasting money while their children lack blankets, let alone proper beds, for Helen the future is brightening. She begins to make friends her own age and develop some social life outside the home.
At 20, still never knowing the loving kiss of a man, Helen meets Harry, a strong, tall seaman, and things finally start to fall into place....

I cannot get over this woman's life story!
Love the narration. I love true stories and this is a true winner! I'm hooked on all 4 of the memoirs.

Addictive story
Nice easy listening, although Everyman sounds the same, lots of long pauses, but overall a good read

The clear depiction in war torn often poverty stricken Liverpool.
The narration is great with accents to add to the drama of a true story. The story comes to life with realism and the sobering reminder harsh Liverpool life for those on low incomes. Coming from the city myself and having a Grandmother who still tells of of those times, the book comes across as dramatic at times but still holds a very descriptive backdrop of a forgotten young woman who could not forget her struggles and subsequent survival.

another lovely book
I really enjoy these books as I have listened to three so am just going to listen to the last and final. The narrator Liane-Rose has a lovely voice the only criticism is sometimes she pauses too long apart from that perfect.

Dreadful
I just couldn't listen to the narrator's voice I went from chapter 1 to the end chapter within 5 minutes just to get rid of it
