[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars
Rebecca Batley has done an excellent job of bringing the two people to life, particularly Marion. Her extensive research is detailed in referenced primary and secondary sources. There’s a reading list and a comprehensive index along with numerous photos of places and people that give real context to the content. This is a unique and fascinating insight into complex individuals and it feels real and substantive. Well written and a really great slice of social history.
