Kathleen Hey spent the war years helping her sister and brother-in-law run a grocery shop in the Yorkshire town of Dewsbury. From July 1941 to July 1946 she kept a diary for the Mass-Observation project, recording the thoughts and concerns of the people who used the shop. Among the chorus of voices she brings us, Kathleen herself shines through as a strong and engaging woman who refuses to give in to doubts or misery and who maintains her keen sense of humour, even under the most trying conditions.©2016 Patricia and Robert Malcolmson (P)2016 W.F.

A true story taken from the diary of a lady who helped run her brother’s grocery shop in the Midlands in the 1940s. It certainly makes one realise how much we take for granted in the availability of food especially in our day-to-day lives.

Not sure if the narrator never took a breath from one sentence to the next or if that’s occurred during editing. Tried reducing the speed on the app, but that doesn’t change the overall cadence . Rather distracting, unfortunately.

Interesting topic

I just bought this book and then thought, funny, I'm not at the beginning?!
I'd forgotten! I purchased it previously and returned it because of the AWFUL narration error of saying "6d" as "six dee" and 10/- as " ten ess" which drive me to distraction.
Please do your research and read it PROPERLY! Sixpence, Ten shillings, Ten-and-six!
I wonder if they will let me return it again?!

Shillings and Pence !!!!

Narrator was ghastly. It was like listening to a very angry person aggressively shout out an extremely long shopping list. God help us.

Not Great

Narrator seemed unaware of terminology for currency pre decimalisation. Spelt acronyms in full instead of reading it for instance NAAFI which detracted from fluidity of narration

Bad narration overall
