Lump in throat nostalgia at its best - an excellent read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: My Whole World (Paperback)
I spent the first 18 years of my life in Penmaenmawr before moving away. This book captures an era about 5 years in front of my own experiences and there are many photographs of people and places that I haven't seen for 40 years.The book has been well researched and is a social history of the people of Penmaenmawr in the 50s and 60s. If you have any connection with Pen you should read this book - all in all an excellent effort and an excellent read. Well done Anne!

Not Our World,
By A. Gates "Elsie" (Germany) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Whole World (Paperback)
If this is a book about Welsh social history, then the author's research on the subject is very scanty. My mother, father and grandmother spent their entire lives in Penmaenmawr and they tell me that Anne Forrest's book bears no resemblance whatsoever to the area as they knew it. The author has not created a believable atmosphere of the time or the place where my family spent their lives and this is the tragedy of this book.
I do hope the Anne Forrest notices my criticisms and rewrites the book using true characters and incidents from the area I know so well.

Penmaenmawr nostalgia,
By anna - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My Whole World (Paperback)
A wonderfully nostalgic look at Penmaenmawr 1900-1970, packed with over 200 photographs to illustrate story after story. This book covers every aspect of a child's upbringing in North Wales during the 1940-50s.
