Book description
In 1960s Bristol, a family is overshadowed by tragedy
While Susan, a typically feisty seven-year-old, is busy being brave,
her mother, Eddress, is struggling for courage. Though bound by an
indestructible love, their journey through a world that is darkening
with tragedy is fraught with the kind of misunderstandings that bring
as much laughter as pain, and as many dreams as nightmares. How does a
child cope when faced with a wall of adult secrets? What does a mother
do when her biggest fear starts to become a reality? Because it's the
Sixties, and because it's shameful to own up to feelings, Eddress
tries to deny the truth, while Susan creates a world that will never
allow her mother to leave.
Set in a world where a fridge is a luxury, cars have starting
handles, and where bingo and coupons bring in the little extras,
Just One More Day is a deeply moving true-life account, told
by mother and daughter, of how the spectre of death moved into their
family, and how hard they tried to pretend it wasn't there.
