| Résumé: | In Bournville, a placid suburb of Birmingham, sits a famous chocolate factory. For eleven-year-old Mary and her family in 1945, it's the centre of the world. Mary will go on to live through the coronation and the World Cup final, royal weddings and royal funerals, Brexit and Covid-19. She'll have children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As seventy-five years of social change ensue, from James Bond to Princess Diana, and from wartime nostalgia to the Worl Wide Web, one pressing question emerges: will these changing times bring Mary's family - and their country - closer together, or leave them more adrift and divided than ever before? |
