Rosie Hogarth - Alexander Baron Book

A powerful and compassionate evocation of a working-class community in the throes of profound change. In the spring of 1949, Jack Agass belatedly returns from the war to the working-class street in Islington where he grew up. A proud, supportive community with a pub and a barber shop, and a common love of The Arsenal. But the street has changed. Jack eventually finds his footing but hes haunted by a yearning for his old childhood friend Rosie Hogarth. This edition of Rosie Hogarth is introduced by Andrew Whitehead, who works for the BBC World Service and is a former BBC political and Indian correspondent.
