Amazon Reviews
5 star review A Phenomenal Legacy – What a wonderful legacy Sue and her family have left for the generations to follow. This account of life in those times seems unbelievable in today’s world. This was the generation that made Britain Great. Somerstown has, I suspect, many tales worth telling. A compelling read which leaves one wanting more. Well done, Sue, for taking this across the line. Many thanks.
Somerstowners – A wonderful history of a local Somerstown girl. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
5 star review – Great Read- I was born in Somers Town, so I was able to picture all the places that were mentioned and know the younger generations of the Stopps family. It was a lovely read. Just wonderful that all the memories had been written down so a book could be made. Well done ⭐️📚
A wonderful history of a local Somers Town girl. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading.
Great book. What a special lady. Brought back lots of memories for me. I need to send a copy to my best friend, Betty, who lives in America. A Somers Town Girl. Good Luck!
• I’m reading your book right now whilst recovering from a hip operation. It’s a lovely read, and what a legacy to leave/have for your family.
Lovely photos, great memories
Got my copy yesterday, I’m halfway through it already.
Just bought it on Amazon for my mum. She was born and brought up in polygon buildings. She’ll love it. She’s 91.
• Cannot wait to read this. I am not a born and bred Somers Towner (I was born in Kentish Town), but I have a strong connection due to my Mum and her 10 siblings and, subsequently, numerous cousins.
• Great book, brought loads of memories back and gained relations I didn’t know existed
• Just reading your book now, it’s great
• I’m reading your book right now whilst recovering from a hip operation. It’s a lovely read, and what a legacy to leave for your family
• I’m so looking forward to the paperback version, as I don’t do Kindle
• I just got two copies of your book – one for me and one for my sister, Pauline. She’s 8 years older than me, so a proper wartime baby. I think I was 11 or 12 when we left Borehamwood for Worcestershire, and she was away at Salisbury Teacher Training College. My Dad was a Londoner (from Clapham/Wandsworth), and my mum was from Herefordshire.
Your Mum’s memories are wonderful, and we love the way she jotted down stories and left them for you to gather together. What a wonderful memorial ❤️
• Revived so many happy memories; I loved it. Thank you. Xx
Enjoyed reading your book and looking forward to the launch – well done getting it written down for the historical record and posterity
• Brilliant Sue, I can’t wait to read it as my late Mum was also born in Johnson
Street in 1923 x
• Got mine ready to take on holiday!
