Excellent,
This review is from: Peckham Cry (Paperback)
Very good - sad, moving but had me engrossed. The author created a wonderful atomosphere of the time it was set in and I was lost in the book with the children and the sweetshop. I found it very hard when Sylvia was shuffled around from one home to another, but it was written very well so it didn't feel hard going at all. In fact I read it so fast I was surprised. An excellent book - shame the author hasn't wrote anything else.

This review is from: Peckham Cry (Paperback)
I was brought up in Nunhead, Peckham, in the 1940's I know the streets, St Silas Church (Knocked down now) I went to Friarn Road School, and left 1961 at 15. But unlike the character in the book, Sylvia, I had a protected life with my family of 3 brothers and 2 sisters, mum and dad, on Ivydale Road. My nan lived up the road as did my cousins, we had marvelous family get togethers. The Peckham Rye Park was a sunday treat for us, and I had to walk through it everyday to get to School, I remember my childhood days as fun, but my dad had to work all the hours to feed and cloth us, It was hard but all were in the same boat so as to speak, not like these days, as the gap is getting bigger.

Excellent Read,
This review is from: Peckham Cry (Paperback)
WOW what an excellent book, I haven't read such a good book in years. It gripped my attention from beginning to end. A really fast paced novel. The main character Sylvia was my heroine. I laughed and cried alternately. I didn't want to finish it. I just couldn't put it down. I urge everyone to purchase a copy of this book. I recommended this book to my friend and she could not buy it from Amazon at the time as there were none in stock. I have since found out that the only copies available are from the author's website. It is particularly nice to buy it from there as all the proceeds go to help augment child abuse charities. Well done Janice Cooke and thank you for sharing your story with us. xxx
