Описание: `Twopence to Cross the Mersey` and `Liverpool Miss`. The first and second parts of Helen Forrester`s poignant autobiography. When Helen`s father went bankrupt in 1930, she and her six siblings left their middle-class life for the utmost destitution in Depression-ridden Liverpool. The running of the household and the care of her younger siblings all fell to 12-year-old Helen. In slum surroundings, with little food or support from her feckless parents, she was forced on her own resources. Told with compassion, humour and a remarkable lack of self-pity, this is a fascinating picture of life before the Welfare State and the moving story of one young girl`s courage.
