East End Tales

by Gilda O'Neill

Published by: Penguin Books

The author wrote this book about her experiences in the days from when she was born til early twenties. My favourite part is that she shows how different life is now and how close all neighbours were in those days. They were like a big family together. She also included quotes from other people she encountered throughout her life with their outlook on particular times. Her additional research on life in the East End was between the years 1950 and 1970.

This book gives a good insight for anyone who is interested in what happened in the East End at that time. It is pleasant and easy to read.
