'A warm and enjoyable read, at times heartbreaking and at others erotic, its appeal goes beyond its value as an academic text. It is an impressive venture that captures what otherwise might have remained a forgotten part of our sexual history.' Petra Boynton, Times Higher Education 'I can scarcely recall reading a book which gives a richer, more comprehensive - and ultimately, more deeply moving - account of the human experience.' The Guardian, 'Book of the Week' 'A brilliant new book ... based on the intimate experiences of people from the middle and working classes whose adolescence, marriage and childrearing took place during and after the period between the two world wars ... provides a glimpse into an era when sex was not spoken about.'
