In terms of the historical experiences - the struggle with housing, getting jobs etc. - that was based on first person accounts that I read during my research. I did use some of my own personal experiences in show the explicit racism though, especially the things that happen/have happened to Evie. (less)

Quotes by Louise Hare  (?)

“Austerity they called it, as if giving it a name made it more acceptable to those struggling to make ends meet.”
Louise Hare, This Lovely City

“Stiff upper lip, put on a brave face and pretend that if you can ignore the horrors of the past and think only of the future, then you too will be all right. This was an island of crazy people.”
Louise Hare, This Lovely City

“Lawrie had admired her at first; had even been grateful for her help. He’d thought she was a friend. That had been his first mistake.”
Louise Hare, This Lovely City
