This book tells the story of generations of a family trying to
climb the social ladder. In their attempts to 'better themselves'
the family encounter issues of respectability and illegitimacy.
This story is based on some of the tales my family have told me
over the years, and my own experience of living in a street where
my grandmother was a maid. I often wondered what she would have
thought of her granddaughter, having a good job as a university
lecturer and living in a big house. As part of a working class
family in the North East of England, I have seen this struggle many
times, each time failing. The disappointment this causes is a
backdrop to life, and is always there.
