"A brilliant, moving and shocking testimony to the courage of working class people in the late 1990s `classless society'. It deserves to be  widely read by people from all walks of life"
Valerie Walkerdine

"Here for a change, are the voices of those who tell the other side of the story - of their hopes and aspirations, so often thwarted and so often deliberately stifled or gone unheard. This is another chapter of Hackney's history that deserves to be widely told"
Ken Worpole

  "Alison Marchant catches hold of the human moments of a century travelling at a devastatingly fast pace."
