Passing Clouds

Passing Clouds #1

by G.A.A. Kent

This is the true story of a British boy, born in the West Midlands in the year of 1937. It gives an account of his growing up in an ordinary family during the years of World War Two and up to the completion of his first decade in his home town of Burton–upon–Trent, Staffs. The author explores the feelings and emotions of people as seen and picked up by young eyes and minds in those days.
But, at the end of the day, it is just his story.

[Bernie Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

The paperback version of this book is in Large Print for the benefit of readers with limited vision. This includes the author who had to write it in maximum Zoom on his computer so that he could see what he was doing. This is the first book in a series of nine in which he hopes to record each decade of his life before he pops off - that's if he lives long enough. He certainly doesn't expect to become a best seller, but he has done this for posterity and for anyone who wants to know what it was like to be a kid in wartime Britain.

The story appeals to me but it also has an extra added benefit. My mother who is 94 loves to read but a rapid and recent worsening of her glaucoma has made it very difficult for her. Not only is this story of her era but the larger font size may make it easier for her. from Stephanie

This book written in such detail, makes the reader think that he is actually there. The war years brought back to life. A must read.
