Reviews for The Things You Do

In a work commenced as an entirely personal memoir to be shared with friends and family, Deborah Delano nonetheless includes events and images as memorable and as stark as anything in literature. An involved, articulate account of working class existence that is at once angry, funny and compassionate, The Things You Do evokes a vanished landscape and an almost-vanished people with affection and yet without sentiment. A passionate, astonishing and ordinary account of streets and decades I remember, this is an authentic bulletin from an exceptionally vivid and yet little documented corner of the human canvas. Highly recommended. Alan Moore - Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Voice of the Fire
