Valentine George
Pat Backley
An ordinary man, who lived through extraordinary times. A historical family saga. (Ancestors Book 1)
Valentine George was an ordinary man, born in extraordinary times. He experienced love, loss and joy -just as we all do- but his life was still worth recording. In this novel we follow his story where it began; in the slums of London during Victorian times. Then, he takes us through World Wars One and Two and leads us along the path to the Swinging Sixties.
“She hated it when her mum asked people for money, especially when she knew it would just be wasted on snuff and gin.”
“Can you believe we’ve got an inside toilet now? And a bath. Such luxury!”
“Take care of yourselves ’til then and try to keep your chins up, this war can’t go on forever.”
The Ancestors series are gentle family sagas, based in London, from the early 1800s through to the late 1980’s. Although fiction, they are based on the authors own ancestors-ordinary people who lived through extraordinary times.
