Ebook About A 2021 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Critical/Biographical“Jacqueline Winspear has created a memoir of her English childhood that is every bit as engaging as her Maisie Dobbs novels, just as rich in character and detail, history and humanity. Her writing is lovely, elegant and welcoming.”—Anne LamottThe New York Times bestselling author of the Maisie Dobbs series offers a deeply personal memoir of her family’s resilience in the face of war and privation. After sixteen novels, Jacqueline Winspear has taken the bold step of turning to memoir, revealing the hardships and joys of her family history. Both shockingly frank and deftly restrained, her story tackles the difficult, poignant, and fascinating family accounts of her paternal grandfather’s shellshock; her mother’s evacuation from London during the Blitz; her soft-spoken animal-loving father’s torturous assignment to an explosives team during WWII; her parents’ years living with Romany Gypsies; and Winspear’s own childhood picking hops and fruit on farms in rural Kent, capturing her ties to the land and her dream of being a writer at its very inception. An eye-opening and heartfelt portrayal of a post-War England we rarely see, This Time Next Year We’ll Be Laughing chronicles a childhood in the English countryside, of working class indomitability and family secrets, of artistic inspiration and the price of memory.Book This Time Next Year We'll Be Laughing Review :
I really enjoyed reading about the childhood of one of my favorite authors. This "memoir" is not a coherent, introspective remembering of a life. Rather, it is a seemingly random collection of stories, starting with her grandparents, which both fascinate and inform the reader about the struggles, physical , emotional and social that burdened Brits post WWI & II. As the stories move from her mother's large family to center on her unconventional parents, she constantly repeats how much she loves her parents, even as it becomes evident that something is very wrong with how she is loved back. Her father is a lovely man, taking time with her to walk around the countryside looking at the wonders of nature, or waking in the night to watch the night sky. The evocative descriptions of their "adventures" living in a caravan, picking hops and fruit in the countryside and even the more uncomfortable truths of the living conditions they endured inform any reader wondering about post WWII life. "Jack" narrates the many trials, endless hard work and small joys of her life with a blind loyalty to her family. This strong emotional detachment colors the book with optimism, even as we the reader start to wonder how that remains intact.We never get the happily ever after...we are left with deathbed scenes for each of her parents, with Jack and her brother living in California. Winspear does revisit her blanket acceptance of her mother and her mother's mistreatment of her, but only challenges her retrospectively through one of her stories, leaving the door open for all sorts of unanswered questions only hinted at in the book. While we know all along how self-centered her parents were, the picture of her alone on her 21st birthday heartbreaking, we are glad we know that eventually, after so many intervening years, Winspear forged a life as a incredibly successful writer (and got her horse), for which we, her readers, are grateful! I have enjoyed every book in the Maisie Dobbs series and I have also read Ms. Winspear’s other novels. She never disappoints. Her characters are well drawn and the narrative compelling. Therefore, I was sad that I could just not get into this book. While her reminiscences of her family are tender, much of the book rambles from one stage to another. She starts down one avenue, then backtracks. I can see where she drew on her childhood to flesh out the characters, settings and story lines of the Maisie Dobbs series, but this memoir leaves me wondering if those fiction works would better serve as the legacy of her life, instead of this somewhat disjointed effort.
