Birdie Gibbs is a tough old bird, who lives on a salubrious Council Estate, battling various Chavs, slappers and assorted morons just to get through the day. Birdie has been through a world war, four husbands, lost a child, worked in factories and longs for the days when she was physically able to dance the nights away. This often funny, sometimes tragic, this first person tale describes Birdie's daily life, looking after the less able on the estate, taking care of her ex-husbands dogs and hoping for a better future. Light and fun read, with many witty observations about the state of society and the plight of the less well off. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In an East End high-rise, Birdie Gibbs lives on chocolate and yearns for action, or atleast for the reopening of the old Imperial dance hall. When one of her ex-husbands, Jimmy Dwyer, appears from nowhere and disappears again, leaving a greyhound in need of homing, Birdie's memories of the War are revived, a time when she did her bit. She still does her bit, but the world around her never makes much sense. When the Fruit Bowl Estate boils over in the summer of 1995 and police leave is cancelled, Birdie gets all the action she can handle. Even more than the night Hitler bombed Beckton gas works...
