As in Austerity Britain an astonishing array of vivid intimate and unselfconscious voices drive this narrative. The keen-eyed Nella Last shops assiduously at Barrow Market as austerity and rationing gradually give way to relative abundance; housewife Judy Haines relishing the detail of suburban life brings up her children in Chingford; and the self-absorbed civil servant Henry St John perfects the art of grumbling. These and many other voices give a rich unsentimental picture of everyday life in the 1950s. We also encounter well-known figures on the way such as Doris Lessing (joining and later leaving the Communist Party) John Arlott (sticking up on Any Questions? for the rights of homosexuals) and Tiger's Roy of the Rovers (making his goal-scoring debut for Melchester). All this is part of a colourful unfolding tapestry in which the great national events - the Tories returning to power the death of George VI the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth the Suez Crisis - jostle alongside everything that gave Britain in the 1950s its distinctive flavour: Butlin's holiday camps Kenwood food mixers Hancock's Half-Hour" Ekco television sets Davy Crockett skiffle and teddy boys. Deeply researched David Kynaston's "Family Britain" offers an unrivalled take on a largely cohesive ordered still very hierarchical society gratefully starting to move away from the painful hardships of the 1940s towards domestic ease and affluence."
