In the family way [text(large print)] : illegitimacy between the Great War and the swinging sixties
Robinson, Jane, 1959-2016
Large Print
Only a generation or two ago, illegitimacy was one of the most shameful things that could happen in a family. This book tells secrets kept for entire lifetimes - long-silent voices from the workhouse, the Magdalene Laundry or the distant mother-and-baby home. Anonymous childhoods are recalled, spent in the care of Dr Barnardo or a Child Migration scheme halfway across the world.
