Mrs Boswell's Slice Of Bread
This is the book you've been waiting for. Where else can you discover all the intimate details of our family if it isn't from me? I can give you the full picture of a Liverpool family's trials and tribulations brought on by unemployment, red tape and the tart who seduced my husband and rendered my children fatherless. Well, here it is, written by the only person who knows the whole story: me, Nellie Boswell.
Read all about Joey's skirmishes with Martina at the DHSS; about Aveline's hopes and aspirations as a model and vicar's wife. Here is the truth about Grandad's stomach; Billy's excessive love life; Adrian's lack of one; Jack's fiascos; the doubtful doings of Shifty and the hopes and fears of my friends Celia Higgins and Linda McCartney. There's nothing hidden. Not even my own shortcomings: fighting in the street - and with Lilo Lil of all people, a renowned, deformed tart, the one Freddie, my own husband, left me for.
As my grandmother used to say: 'If you can't afford a side of beef you'll just have to make do with BREAD. But if you must eat bread - make sure it's a fresh loaf.' Well, it doesn't come any fresher than this. Here it is, straight out of the oven, Mrs Boswell's Slice Of Bread. May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
