A Tale of Two Stories by R Henshall
Two young people, Barry Lindenbea and Belinda Prenderghast embark on courtship and marriage through the sixties decade. Their story of trials and tribulations is recorded through each other’s diaries. On the surface it would seem that everything is harmonious but it soon becomes evident to the writer that there are extreme differences.
Barry is convinced that he has a family wealth gene in his make-up whereas Belinda thinks otherwise. Eccentric characters such as the vaudeville Aunt Polly, the mysterious Uncle John and Eric the train spotter, plus a multitude of whimsical money making schemes, add to the drama within the walls of Gloucester House.
Enjoy both characters relaying their own perspectives on a story they share together and wallow in the nostalgia of ten bob notes, the local Palais de Dance and even bags of chips in newspaper for sixpence. The innocence and naïvety of the swinging sixties awaits you in the ensuing pages.
