Not Great Hopes is a personal account of episodes from the
author’s childhood and a vivid evocation of life during the 1950s
and 1960s. The chapters range from everyday life in the Birmingham
suburb of Northfield, to school life, sport, television, holidays,
a first experience of foreign travel, extended family and the
account of a bitter family breakdown. They include details of a
childhood that is in many ways dramatically different from the
childhood of today, though many themes will resonate across the
generations. The book also gives an account of the author’s
relationship with and impression of a city, Birmingham, in a period
of tumultuous demographic and architectural change. It ranges in
emotional tone from the light and humorous to the poignant and
tragic. Older readers will find much to recognise; younger readers,
much to surprise them.
