Book ID/图书代码: 01930010B42261
English Summary/英文概要: •World War Two is finally over. Millions all over the country are starting to wonder if peacetime really is much of an improvement on the War. Food shortages, endless queues, power cuts, rationing and freezing winters make it extremely difficult to make ends meet as husbands return from battlefields to families they hardly know.
•Yet some East Enders are living large... in a bombed out damp and squalid Hackney slum, one family are leading a life of luxury, a loadsamoney world funded by illegal betting, where virtually everything is available, thanks to a thriving black market.
•The Hyams family has a retinue of unofficial servants: a chauffeur, a cleaner and an army of delivery men. They take seaside holidays in posh hotels and dine on the finest foods and delicacies money can buy... but at the core of their daily life, an ever-growing nightmare lurks, threatening to wreck their luxurious existence.
•In this honest and sincere memoir, Jacky Hyams revisits the ‘live for today’ world of her childhood, a world where money was no object, growing up in a household underpinned by betting, booze and bribes.
•From stories of her parents partying with the Krays in the East End of old, to the optimistic swinging sixties of London’s West End, this is the intimate story of a unique childhood, set against the backdrop of squalid, post-War Hackney.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: •第二次世界大战最终结束了。这个国家数以百万计的人开始怀疑和平是不是真是战争带来的改善。粮食短缺、无尽的排队、断电、配给和寒冷的冬天,这一切让丈夫们从战场上回到连维持生计都十分艰难的家,而他们几乎都没有意识到这一点。
•然而,一些东恩德斯人生活在荒郊野外。。。。。在经过轰炸后既潮湿又肮脏的哈克尼贫民窟里。有一个家族始终在金钱充斥的世界过着奢华的生活,干着非法投注的勾当,所以在那里没有东西是得不到的,这要归功于蓬勃发展的黑市。
•在海恩姆斯的家里有一组非正式的仆人:一名司机,一名清洁工和一队送货工人。他们在豪华的海滨酒店度假,吃着最好的食物佳肴,但在他们内心深处潜伏着一个不断增长的恶梦,时刻威胁要破坏这样的奢华生活。
•在这个诚实和真诚的回忆录,杰基•海恩姆斯重温了她的童年,经济不是问题,却要在投注、酗酒和贿赂支撑的家庭里成长。
•从她父母在旧东区与克雷家族聚会的故事,到伦敦西区摇摆的60年代,这是一个讲述以肮脏的哈克尼战后为背景的特别童年的故事。(兼职翻译-JDM)
