The Ghosts of Yesteryear

More about the book

Kathleen Dayus revisits her childhood and young adult life before marriage, bringing to life the people and places her readers have come to know from her earlier volumes of autobiography. Here are stories of her schooldays; her first working experiences; her sister Lisa's theft of money her mother was sending to the Front; and experiences with boyfriends and dirty old men. All are told in the fresh and unsentimental prose for which Dayus is renowned.
