This book has that warm quality of meeting someone on a train and becoming fascinated in their story. Monica Dickens came from a well-heeled middle-class family. She was the great granddaughter of Charles Dickens himself and therefore was probably disposed to write, and like her famous ancestor, she had a way of entertaining her public with good writing and plain speech.
When a young girl, she secretly became a maid/cleaner/cook through an agency who seemed very patient with this girl who at home had servants to run after her. Then came her stint at nursing during the war (cheerfully coping with bedpans and laying out the dead), During this busy life, she began to write, using her experiences, the first book being 'One Pair Of Hands'. Her intelligence was such that she rapidly became bored, and there was a short whirl in a nuts and bolts factory before returning to nursing again.
Meeting her future husband on a small plane, an American and a Navy Commander, the author left to live in the States, first Washington and then Connecticut, ending up in a two-story clapboard house in North Falmouth on Cape Cod, with her husband, two newly-adopted girls and the wayward storms that tore around the house at certain intervals.
It's a jolly good read, and the sort of book to take travelling; no train journey would drag if this was in your suitcase.
