Lying on the bridge - Esther Cohen

Esther Cohen was brought up in Glasgow with her three older brothers. An ordinary family in an ordinary setting - but maybe a bit different too. For one thing, her father was 56 when she was born. For another, he had a rather unusual calling.Through her stories Esther Cohen shares wry and touching reflections on the effects of being born shortly after the War, being the youngest and only girl in the family, living on a tight budget, managing life with strict parent...There is much more here than nostalgic indulgence. Esther Cohen explores her responses to, her anxieties about, and her delights in the simple events of a 1950's childhood.With a sharp wit and a clear recall, she will lead you through the events of her early life with just a trickle of tears and a lot of laughter.
