Maggie and Me by Damian Barr
5.0
I’ve been meaning to read this for a while, a lot of this echoes my own childhood and growing up in what can sometimes be described as the abject misery of the Thatcher years. But it wasn’t all bad, there were smiles and laughs, there were friends who made it easier. Granny Mac jumped off the page at me, typical of a woman of her generation and if anything like my own granny she would have had a rough surface sheltering a heart of gold.
And my two takeaways from this...I got school milk up until primary 7. Reading the description I had the vile stale smell of the wet area in my nose. And the second....Bennetts. I’ll never forget the hard faced bouncers and the sticky carpets, the notoriously disgusting pints of Tennants and the voguing.
