Of Laundries and Rabbits

The autobiography offers a dual perspective on life in Britain, particularly during the 1930s and early war years. Ellen shares her gripping experiences growing up in a challenging environment in Kensal Town, with vivid accounts of hardship and poignant moments, including a touching funeral scene.
