Wake by Anna Hope

Five Days in November, 1920: As the body of the Unknown Soldier makes its way home from the fields of Northern France, three women are dealing with loss in their own way: Hettie, who dances for sixpence a waltz at the Hammersmith Palais; Evelyn, who toils at a job in the pensions office, and Ada, a housewife who is beset by visions of her dead son. One day a young man comes to her door. He carries with him a wartime mystery that will bind these women together and will both mend and tear their hearts. A portrait of three intertwining lives caught at the faultline between empire and modernity, Wake captures the beginnings of a new era, and the day the mood of the nation changed for ever.

Live at the Brixton Academy by Simon Parkes.

In 1982, aged twenty-three, Simon Parkes paid 拢1 for a virtually derelict building in Brixton. Over the next fifteen years he turned it into Britain's most iconic music venue. And now he's telling his story: full of fond - and wild - reminiscences of the famous musicians who played at the venue, including Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Lou Reed, The Ramones, New Order, the Beastie Boys and The Smiths.
This is about one man's burning desire for success against the odds, his passion for live music and the excitement of those wilderness years, a far cry from the corporate world that controls the scene today. From rock-star debauchery and mixing it up with Brixton gangsters to putting on the first legal raves in the UK and countless backroom business deals, this is the story of how to succeed in business with no experience and fulfil your teenage fantasies.


Personal Pick:

The Cazalet Chronicles by Elizabeth Jane Howard.

Tracing the lives of three generations of the Cazalet family, the books are full of heartache, fear and loneliness as the three Cazalet brothers revisit their childhood home during the wartime period of 1937 to 1945. Vividly bringing this era to life, the books focus on the changes both in society and in the brothers' personal lives as family issues come to the fore... A fascinating saga for anyone interested in historical fiction
